You Say Latino - Cartoon
Easing back into the fray, today's site, from Vox news service, offers a

Gentle Subscribers who were slightly foggy about the the differences between
the two terms will now have an unforgettable clarification of meaning and usage.
"I'm Latino. I'm Hispanic. And they're different, so I drew a comic to
explain." - from the website
This "mini comic" by writer/cartoonist Terry Blas provides brief yet thoroughly
comprehensive definitions of the words Latino and Hispanic. Showcasing the
differences between language and countries of origin, the comic delivers an
uncomplicated cultural lesson. With a little biographical background for
context and engaging graphics for highlights, the presentation underscores the
simple meanings of each term and eliminates any difficulty in using them
correctly.
