English Usage - Chicano - English editing.

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