Those terms are usually used pretty interchangeably.

They're not in Brazil, because Brazil was colonized by PORTUGAL, not Spain. We speak PORTUGUESE, not Spanish. Therefore, we are latinos (from latin america) but not hispanic (linked to spanish culture). But since most of other countries in latin america were actually colonized by Spain, latino = hispanic in most cases.

Cuban would be both hispanic and latino. Colombian would be both hispanic and latino.

cuba and colombia can be only latino, and if there were slaves brought in, they are hispanic :manny:

if you have non european hair, have a dark pigment without the sun, AND speak spanish... you are not latino.

You're wrong. Being Latino or Hispanic has nothing to do with slaves, your skin color or your hair. :laff:
