The race and culture of each Hispanic\/Latino country and their United States diaspora differs by history and geography. The U.S. Census Bureau defines being Hispanic as an ethnicity, rather than a race, and thus people of this group may be of any race. In a 2015 national survey of self-identified Hispanics, 56% said that being Hispanic is part of both their racial and ethnic background, while smaller numbers considered it part of their ethnic background only (19%) or racial background only (11%). Hispanics may be of any linguistic background; in a 2015 survey, 71% of American Hispanics agreed that it “is not necessary for a person to speak Spanish to be considered Hispanic\/Latino.” Hispanic people may share some commonalities in their language, culture, history, and heritage. According to the Smithsonian Institution, the term “Latino” includes peoples with Portuguese roots, such as Brazilians, as well as those of Spanish-language origin.<\/p>\n
