The exception is Spain where {{lang|es|latino}} is a common demonym for immigrants from Latin America.{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}} Sociologist Salvador Vidal‑Ortiz and literary scholar Juliana Martínez write that after the [[U.S. census]] introduced ''Hispanic'' in the 1970s, ''Latino'' emerged as "a term of resistance to the explicit colonial relations that 'Hispanic' sets between Spain and countries in Latin America".{{r|Vidal-Ortiz & Martínez|p=387}}
