"Eighty percent of the Hispanics surveyed said they think Latino children growing up in the United States will get a better education than they did in their native counties, ..."

Are the "Hispanics" being surveyed talking about some other group called "Latinos", or what?

But most Latinos -- 86 percent -- agree that discrimination is a problem, and it keeps Hispanics from succeeding in general.

And now are the "Latinos" talking about some other group known as "Hispanics"? I am so confused!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Hispanics are from Hispaniola (spelling?), the island of Dominican Republic / Haiti.

It would appear like the adjective is used improperly 95% of the time.
