Hispanos (from Spanish: adj. prefix Hispano- relating to Spain from Latin: Hispānus) is a name given in the English language to people of colonial Spanish descent in what is today the United States who retained a predominantly Spanish culture. The distinction was made to compensate for flawed U.S. Census practices in the 1930s which used to characterize Hispanic people as non-white.
