Question 35 • CA-Ethnic Studies

An actress was born in Los Angeles, California, to Honduran parents. Which best describes her ethnicity?

Answer
A
Latina
B
Nuyorican
C
Chicana
D
non-Hispanic

Explanation

Honduras is a Latin American country, so a person with Honduran parents is generally described as Latina. Being born in Los Angeles does not change her family’s Honduran background. Nuyorican specifically refers to people of Puerto Rican descent connected to New York, while Chicana usually refers to Mexican American identity.
