Usage

The term Chicano (derived from Mexican Spanish), and the feminine form Chicana, became current in the early 1960s, first used by politically active groups. Chicano and Chicana are still in frequent use and have become less politicized. However, Mexican-Americans with less militant political views might find the terms offensive. Hispanic is a more generic term denoting persons in the US of Latin American or Spanish descent. See also Hispanic

Origin

Mexican Spanish, alteration of Spanish mejicano (masculine) ‘Mexican’.
