=== Governmental usage === The U.S. government [[Office of Management and Budget]] (OMB) has defined ''Hispanic or Latino'' people as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race".<ref name="omb">{{cite web |url=https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Revisions-to-the-Standards-for-the-Classification-of-Federal-Data-on-Race-and-Ethnicity-October30-1997.pdf |title=Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity |author=Office of Management and Budget |author-link=Office of Management and Budget |date=October 30, 1997 |work=[[Federal Register]] Notice |publisher=[[whitehouse.gov]] |access-date=14 June 2019}}</ref> The [[Race and ethnicity in the United States census|U.S. census]] uses the [[ethnonym]] ''Hispanic or Latino'' to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-04.pdf |title=The Hispanic Population: 2010 Census Briefs |website=Census.gov |access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref> The Census Bureau also explains that "[o]rigin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/population/hispanic/ |title=Hispanic Origin Main - People and Households - U.S. Census Bureau |access-date=2016-01-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160119231531/http://www.census.gov/population/hispanic/ |archive-date=2016-01-19}}</ref> Hence the U.S. census and the OMB are using the terms differently. The U.S. census and the OMB use the terms interchangeably, where both terms are synonyms. According to a study by the [[Pew Research Center]], the majority (51%) of [[Hispanic and Latino Americans]] prefer to identify with their families' country of origin, while only 24% prefer the term ''Hispanic'' or ''Latino''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Taylor |first1=Paul |last2=Lopez |first2=Mark Hugo |last3=Martínez |first3=Jessica |last4=Velasco |first4=Gabriel |title=When Labels Don't Fit: Hispanics and Their Views of Identity |url=http://www.pewhispanic.org/2012/04/04/when-labels-dont-fit-hispanics-and-their-views-of-identity/ |website=Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends Project |date=4 April 2012}}</ref>
