Are people from Brasil either Latino or Hispanic?

Question

If not, do they belong to some larger group by another name?

Answer 1

Brazilians Are Not Hispanic
A number of the diverse populations who migrated to Brazil
include: Portugal, Italy, Poland, France, Germany, Lebanon,
Syria, Japan, Russia, Austria, Turkey all of which are
disengaged from the Hispanic-Latino paradigms. Brazilians
don't belong to an illusory Hispanic or Latino "race."

In general, Brazilians trace their origins from four sources of migration:

1 - Amerindians, Brazil's indigenous population, who are believed by some archeologists to be human groups that migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait around 9000 BC.
2 - Portuguese colonists and settlers, arriving from 1500 onward.
3 - Africans brought to the country from 1530 until the end of the slave trade in 1850.
4 - Diverse groups of immigrants from Europe, Asia and the Middle East arriving in Brazil during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Answer 2

I've heard that they are still considered latino and hispanic though they speak Portuguese and not Spanish. Of course, out of respect if I knew some Brazilian I would ask them what there preference was.

Answer 3

Brazilians are some of the most ethinically mixed people in the world...I'm not sure if Latino or Hispanic is justified to describe them.....

They are largely portuguese, African, Indian, Germans, Spainards, Italians......they are truly diverse

Answer 4

Latino, however; since Spain ran through that part of the land.
Some may consider them Hispanic as well.

Answer 5

People from Brazil are generally considered mixed, since they have multiple origins: amerindian, african, caucasian (both north european and hispanic) and, more recently, asian. Brazil's colonization over the centuries has made it into a true melting pot, so it is nearly impossible to point out only one ethnic origin for any given Brazillian individual.

Answer 6

Brasil is part of Latin America, even though they speak Portuguese.

Answer 7

South American and may call themselves Latino

Answer 8
