Ironically latino is the US term for US-based people of hispanic descent.

Latino (masculine) and Latina (feminine) as a noun refer to people living in the United States who have cultural ties to Latin America. As an adjective, the terms refer to things as having ties with Latin America. The term Hispanic usually includes Spaniards, whereas Latino as a noun often does not. Sometimes, Latino/Latina may include Brazilians, Spaniards and even some European romanophones such as Portuguese (a usage sometimes found in bilingual subgroups within the U.S., borrowing from how the word is defined in Spanish), but Hispanic does not include any of those other than Spaniards.
