Should the terms "Hispanic" or "Latino/Latina" or both or neither be used as a race identifier of a Spanish-speaking person (Spanish as the first language)?

Hispanic Latino/Latina means the same thing.
Latino is preferred as a race identifier.
Hispanic is preferred as race identifier.
Hispanic or Latino should not be used as an race identifier. In fact, neither is a single ethnicity, nor do they speak Spanish as a first language only. All Americans are a cross-genetic and cultural influence of Ameriindians, European, Afro-Caribean, Eastern European, Middle-Eastern, IndoAsian, and Asian peoples.
