The important point of the video (or at least the reason I posted it) was that Newsom (a Democrat) doesn't want to discuss the causes of a problem he claims is quite acute. Why? If the "cause" of violent crime (i.e., guns according to the Left) is fair game, why not the cause of other social ills? Newsom only wants to discuss causation when he thinks it favors his side, not the other way around.

Are Hispanics the same as Latinos. I’m asking because my niece married a guy who was born and raised in Mexico. He claims he is Mexican because he was born in Mexico. Makes sense to me.
Hispanics speak a form of Spanish. Latinos speak a latin language (i.e. Spanish or Portuguese). Or maybe English (Belize and Costa Rica). Or French (Guyana). Or Dutch (Surinam). But, splitting hairs.

Not necessarily. You can be Latino, but not Hispanic. For example. Someone from Brazil is Latino, but not Hispanic because they speak Portuguese. You can also be Hispanic, but not Latino. Someone from Spain can be Hispanic, but they are not from a Latin American country.
Mexican is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Hispanic and Latino are ethnicities. None of the aforementioned are races. A crazy example is Alberto Fujimori. He is the former president of Peru. He is an Asian Hispanic Latino Peruano. Or Roberto Clemente is a Negro example of a Hispanic Latino. But Pele would only be considered a Negro Latino.
It can get a bit confusing, but I hope these examples help explain.

This is another example of the leftist mentally to intentionally misuse words in order to change the discussion away from the real Topic/Truth, and to attempt to re-frame discussions. Some say they do it for 'politeness, respect, equity' whatever, but mostly I think it's from ignorance.
Some examples include; LEA/LEO calling highway robbery/armed robbery = 'Civil Forfeiture', people calling a male who cut his penis off, takes estrogen and wears female clothes = 'woman', those who say a vaccine DOESN'T provide immunity anymore(circa 2021) or anyone who says that non-whites are a 'minority'...
Anyways, back to the topic...
Those who are born in 'Latin America' are majorly Latinos, or Mestizos as stated earlier. Sure the Mexican weather girls are Hispanics, but the vast majority of Latin Americans would not be considered Hispanic by traditional definition. Hispanics are those that are a close descendant of España. Similarly Guatemalans and El Salvadorians don't want to be called Mexicans, as it's important to be accurate with the words we use, and do not allow anyone to poison the language much as they have everything else.
This is a good reason to keep old texts, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other books that cannot be changed with a few clicks of some city living degen who thinks 'real communism has never been tried before' while daily attempting to undermine the Laws, Morality, and Spirit of the greatest country in recorded history.
