A Latino or Latina is a person considered part of an ethnic background that is traditionally Spanish-speaking, especially a citizen of, or an immigrant from, a Spanish-speaking country. The term ''latino'' is used to refer to males only or a combination of males and females in a group, whereas the term ''latina'' is used to refer to females only.

In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym ''Hispanic or Latino'', defined as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other race." The term is also used in Spain as a term of self-identification for immigrants from Hispanoamerica.

Etymology

The terms ''latino'' and ''latina'' originate from American Spanish, and ultimately from the Latin terms ''latinus'' and ''latina'', which literally mean ''Latin''. The terms may be an abbreviated form of the Spanish word ''latinoamericano'' (Latin American). This use of the expression ''Latin'' derives from the traditional split in Europe between the Protestant and the Roman Catholic (i.e. ''Latin'') kingdoms. In the Americas the competition from these colonial powers and their descendants was seen as dividing the Western Hemisphere between Protestants and Latins in much the same way Western Europe was divided. Somewhat coincidentally (although not entirely independently) the Roman Catholic colonies in the Americas predominantly spoke Romance languages (derived from Latin) thus giving a second meaning to the term. The use of the Spanish word for ''Latin'' in English gradually has become an ethnic identifier, independent of religion.

Use in the United States

The term "Latino" was officially adopted in 1997 by the United States Government in the ethnonym "Hispanic or Latino", which replaced the single term "Hispanic": "Because regional usage of the terms differs – Hispanic is commonly used in the eastern portion of the United States, whereas Latino is commonly used in the western portion."

U.S. official use of the term "Hispanic" has its origins in the 1970 census. The Census Bureau attempted to identify all Hispanics by use of the following criteria in sampled sets: :* Spanish speakers and persons belonging to a household where Spanish was spoken :* Persons with Spanish heritage by birth location :* Persons who self-identify with Latin America, excluding Brazil

Neither "Hispanic" nor "Latino" refers to a race, as a person of Latino/Hispanic ethnicity can be of any race. Like non-Latinos, a Latino can be of any race or combination of races: White/Caucasian, Black/African American, Asian, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander American, or two or more races.

Although as officially defined in the United States, "Latino" does not include Brazilian Americans, and ''specifically'' refers to "Spanish culture or origin", some of the dictionary definitions may include Brazilian Americans and/or Brazilian people in general. Also, since Hispanic or Latino origin is, like race, a matter of self-identification, any Brazilian American wishing to do can presumably report as being Hispanic or Latino. However, the Brazilian American group is not included with Hispanics and Latinos in the government's population reports.

Some authorities of American English maintain a distinction between the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino":

"Though often used interchangeably in American English, ''Hispanic'' and ''Latino'' are not identical terms, and in certain contexts the choice between them can be significant. ''Hispanic'', from the Latin word for "Spain," has the broader reference, potentially encompassing all Spanish-speaking peoples in both hemispheres and emphasizing the common denominator of language among communities that sometimes have little else in common. ''Latino''—which in Spanish means "Latin" but which as an English word is probably a shortening of the Spanish word ''latinoamericano''—refers more exclusively to persons or communities of Latin American origin. Of the two, only ''Hispanic'' can be used in referring to Spain and its history and culture; a native of Spain residing in the United States is a ''Hispanic'', not a ''Latino'', and one cannot substitute ''Latino'' in the phrase ''the Hispanic influence on native Mexican cultures'' without garbling the meaning. In practice, however, this distinction is of little significance when referring to residents of the United States, most of whom are of Latin American origin and can theoretically be called by either word."

The AP Stylebook also distinguishes between the terms Hispanic and Latino. The Stylebook limits the term "Hispanic" to persons "from - or whose ancestors were from - a Spanish-speaking land or culture." It provides a more expansive definition, however, of the term "Latino." The Stylebook definition of Latino includes not only persons of Spanish-speaking ancestry, but also more generally includes persons "from -- or whose ancestors were from -- . . . Latin America." The Stylebook specifically lists "Brazilian" as an example of a group which can be considered Latino.

Listed below are the 28 categories tabulated in the 2000 United States Census: Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican Republic; Central American: Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Other Central American; South American: Argentinian, Bolivian, Chilean, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Uruguayan, Venezuelan, Other South American; Other Hispanic or Latino: Spaniard, Spanish, Spanish American, All other Hispanic or Latino.

Similar and related terms

Sometimes "Latino" is used interchangeably with "Latin", as Latino is also defined as a "Latin inhabitant of the United States"; and sometimes it is used interchangeably with "Latin American". As a demonym, though, "Latin" can have other meanings:

"a native or inhabitant of Latium; an ancient Roman."

"a member of any of the Latin peoples, or those speaking chiefly Romance languages, esp. a native of or émigré from Latin America."

"a member of the Latin Church; a Roman Catholic, as distinguished from a member of the Greek Church."

"A Latino or Latina."

"Latin American" may also mean the same as "Latino," depending on which definition of the latter is used. The term "Latino", was implemented in the US to refer to what is a group of people composed of immigrants and residents, Also, a Spaniard, for example, though a "Latino" by some definitions, is not a Latin American. The term "Latin American", in turn, though normally applied to inhabitants of Latin America, is nevertheless preferred by some individuals and organizations in the United States. "Latin American" is defined as: "A native or inhabitant of Latin America." "A person of Latin-American descent."

Criticism

The term Latino, despite its increasing popularity, is still highly debated among those who are called by the name. Since the adoption of the term by the US Census Bureau and its subsequent widespread use, there have been several controversies and disagreements, specially in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. Regarding it as an arbitrary generic term, many Latin American scholars, journalists and indigenous rights organisations have objected against the mass media use of the word "Latino", pointing out that such ethnonyms are optional and should be used only to describe people involved in the practices, ideologies and identity politics of their supporters. Journalist Rodolfo Acuña writes:

"When and why the Latino identity came about is a more involved story. Essentially, politicians, the media, and marketers find it convenient to deal with the different U.S. Spanish-speaking people under one umbrella. However, many people with Spanish surnames contest the term ''Latino''. They claim it is misleading because no Latino or Hispanic nationality exists since no Latino state exists, so generalizing the term ''Latino'' slights the various national identities included under the umbrella.

Popular personalities like Andy García have also expressed concern. He has stated that, in spite of his love of his native Cuba, he dislikes being labeled as a 'Latino actor', preferring instead to be addressed as an actor without a tag attached to him.

Definitions in other languages

The term ''latino'' (feminine ''latina'') in the Romance languages, such as Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, literally translates as "Latin". The cognate French term is ''Latin'', not ''Latino''. Portuguese dictionaries define the demonym ''latino'' to refer to natives of Romance-speaking nations influenced by Roman civilization, and to the natives or inhabitants of ancient Latium (modern Lazio). Italian dictionaries define the demonym ''latino'' as: the ancient Latins and Romans, and their language, Latin, as well as the neo-Latin nations. The dictionary of the Real Academia Española defines ten meanings for ''latino'', including the ancient peoples of Latium and the modern Romance-speaking European and American nations. In these languages, ''latino'', just like any other demonym, is by convention not capitalized.

Marc Maron ( ; born September 27, 1963) is an American stand-up comedian and podcast host.

He has been host of ''The Marc Maron Show'', and co-host of both ''Morning Sedition'', and ''Breakroom Live'', all politically oriented shows, produced by Air America Media. He was also the host of ''Comedy Central's Short Attention Span Theater'' for a year, replacing Jon Stewart. Maron has been a frequent guest on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' and made over 44 appearances on ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', more than any other stand-up performer. He was also a regular guest on ''Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn'' and hosted the short-lived American version of the British game show ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' on VH1.

In September 2009, Maron began hosting a twice-weekly podcast titled ''WTF with Marc Maron'', in which he interviews comedians and celebrities.

Career

After graduating from Boston University, Maron started his comedy career at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and became an associate of Sam Kinison. He later moved to New York City and became part of the New York alternative comedy scene. He auditioned for the 1995 ''Saturday Night Live'' cast overhaul, but attributes being passed over to an awkward personal meeting with show creator and producer Lorne Michaels.

Continuing to be a stand-up performer, Maron's voice was used in episodes of ''Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist'' and hosted ''Short Attention Span Theater'' for a time. He also recorded half-hour specials for HBO and Comedy Central Presents, as well as comedy showcases like the Cam Neely Foundation fundraiser, which also featured performers like Jon Stewart, Denis Leary and Steven Wright.

Maron frequently appeared in the live alternative stand up series he'd organized with Janeane Garofalo called "Eating It," which used the rock bar Luna Lounge in New York's Lower East Side as its venue from the 1990s until the building was razed in 2005.

His only major film credit to date is a small part–credited as "angry promoter"–in the 2000 Cameron Crowe film ''Almost Famous'' wherein he is seen first fighting with Noah Taylor's character, then yelling at and chasing after the main characters as they drive away on a bus.

His first one-man show, ''Jerusalem Syndrome'', had an extended off-Broadway run in 2000 and was released in book form in 2001. In 2009 he began workshopping another one-man show, ''Scorching The Earth''. According to Maron (in ''Scorching The Earth'') these two shows "bookend" his relationship with his second wife, comic Mishna Wolff, which ended in a bitter divorce. Moment Magazine produced a piece on Maron, where he was interviewed about his experience with Jerusalem Syndrome. When asked if he really came down with it, Maron responded, "The premise of my book is that not only did it happen during a short trip I took to Israel, but it’s been happening to me all my life."

In May 2008, he toured with Eugene Mirman and Andy Kindler in ''Stand Uppity: "Comedy That Makes You Feel Better About Yourself and Superior to Others."''

In January 2009, a collaboration with Sam Seder which had begun in September 2007 as a weekly hour-long video webcast became ''Breakroom Live with Maron & Seder'', produced by Air America. Until its cancellation in July 2009 the show was webcast live, weekdays at 3PM Eastern, with episodes archived for later viewing as well. In its final incarnation, the show was quite informal, taking place in the (actual) break room of Air America Media, with the cafeteria vending machines just off-camera. This meant occasional distractions when Air America staff and management alike would occasionally come in for food and drink. Maron and Seder also held court in an online "post-show chat" with viewers, in an even less formal continuation of each webcast, after the credits had rolled.

Maron's stand up comedy act is marked by his commitment to self-revelation and cultural analysis. He is particularly known for relentless on-stage exploration of his own relationships, with family, girlfriends, and other stand-up comedians that he has known and befriended over his many years in the business.

In March 2012, IFC announced that it would be picking up a series created by and starring Maron for a 10 episode run to begin sometime in 2013. The show will be autobiographical, and will center around Maron's life as a twice-divorced sober comedian running a comedy podcast out of his garage. The pilot shoot for this show was discussed in Episode 183 of WTF with guest Amy Poehler.

Radio

From almost the first day of the progressive talk radio network Air America's broadcasts in 2004, Maron co-hosted ''Morning Sedition'', a three-hour early-morning radio show with Mark Riley, which aired weekdays from 6am-9am Eastern time. The show was unique in the Air America lineup, in its heavy reliance on both live and pre-produced sketch comedy, utilizing the talents of staff writers, as well as the on-air hosts. The format was a left-leaning near-satire of typical morning "Buddy" radio programs, including recurring characters, interviews and listener call-in segments, and it attracted a loyal fan base.

As 2005 waned, it became known that Maron's contract would not be renewed on its December 1, 2005 end date due to problems with then Air America executive Danny Goldberg. Goldberg reportedly did not "get" the comedy or agree with the satiric and often angry tone set by Maron and other writers (Jim Earl and Kent Jones) for a morning-drive time show. Removal of Maron constituted the disassembling of ''Morning Sedition'' causing many fans to circulate online petitions to the management of Air America Radio.

On November 28, 2005 it was officially announced that Maron's contract had indeed not been renewed. His last ''Morning Sedition'' broadcast was on December 16, 2005, and the show was discontinued shortly thereafter.

On February 28, 2006, Maron began hosting a nighttime radio program with Jim Earl as sidekick for KTLK Progressive Talk 1150AM in Los Angeles called ''The Marc Maron Show'' from 10:00PM PST until midnight PST. The program was frequently delayed (sometimes for over an hour) due to KTLK's contractual agreement to broadcast local sports events–which would often go into overtime. ''The Marc Maron Show'' was never nationally syndicated by Air America despite reported contractual clauses promising so. The show was streamed online live, but the show was not publicized, and the existence of the stream was not well promoted.

On July 5, it was announced that ''The Marc Maron Show'''s final episode would be July 14. A few days before that date, Maron bluntly discussed his long struggle with Air America Radio's executives on-air.

In 2008, Marc and Sam Seder expanded their prior collaboration on a weekly hour-long video webcast (streamed at The Sam Seder Show website) into a daily show (and "post-show chat") produced by Air America Media called ''Maron v. Seder''. The show became ''Breakroom Live with Maron & Seder'' starting in 2009, and could be viewed on Air America Media's website. On July 15, 2009, after less than one year, Air America Media canceled ''Breakroom Live''.

According to the show's hosts, the cancellation was for financial reasons. Ironically, the day before the cancellation, the show got some of the first real publicity it had received when MaximumFun.org posted its podcast of an interview with Maron on ''The Sound of Young America''.

On the final ''Breakroom Live'' webcast, Maron said that this marked the third time since 2005 he'd been told by an executive at the network that his services would not be required in the immediate future. Co-host Sam Seder pointed out that this would be the end of his ''fourth'' show at Air America since the troubled network's inception.

Podcast

On September 1, 2009 Maron began a twice-a-week podcast called ''WTF with Marc Maron''. Released Mondays and Thursdays, the show features interviews with fellow comedians, both old friends and acquaintances. In a free-form discussion, Maron and his guests touch on topics like the arc of the interviewees' careers, shared past experiences, and stories from the road. The show was originally produced after hours in the Air America offices, to which Maron and his producer still had keys. Around the 20th episode Maron temporarily moved to Los Angeles, before announcing the move would be permanent in the 22nd. ''WTF'' is currently recorded in his garage, with the bulk of the guests meeting him there, though he does have a mobile set up to take to guests. ''WTF'' has reached #1 on iTunes comedy section numerous times. Though it is a free podcast, it has a number of rotating sponsors and accepts donations.

On May 17, 2011, it was announced that a version of ''WTF with Marc Maron'' is now available for non-commercial broadcast via Public Radio Exchange. The initial offering is ten episodes edited from previous podcasts, designed, according to co-producer of the broadcast package Jesse Thorn, "to capture what makes ''WTF'' special and communicate it to folks who aren't comedy nerds–or even necessarily comedy fans." Initial station pickups include WBEZ Chicago and the Public Radio Remix service on SiriusXM.

Personal life

Maron was born into a Jewish family in Jersey City, New Jersey, but lived in Wayne, New Jersey and Pompton Lakes, New Jersey until he was six. Maron's father then joined the US Air Force for two years, and Maron and his family lived in Alaska. When his father left the Air Force, he moved his family to Albuquerque, New Mexico and started a medical practice.

Maron lived in an apartment in Astoria, Queens, but announced on the 22nd edition of WTF that he was moving back to his Los Angeles home, and did so in the fall of 2009. He has been married twice, to Kimberly Reiss and Mishna Wolff (a former stand-up comedian). Both relationships have been a large part of his act at various times. During numerous appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 2007, Maron riffed on his then-recent separation and divorce from his second wife, Mishna Wolff.

Maron has also spoken openly, both in his act and on his podcast, about his past alcohol and drug use, from which he is over twelve years sober. He also speaks openly of his caring for numerous stray cats, which he takes into his home. This has led to him to refer to his home, on the WTF Podcast, as the "Cat Ranch." In a February 2012 episode of WTF with Bill Maher, Maron confirmed that he was an atheist.
