Hispanic Hispanic, from the Latin word for "Spain," has a broader reference, potentially encompassing all Spanish-speaking peoples in both hemispheres and emphasizing the common denominator of language among communities that sometimes have little else in common Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hispanic

Latino Latino—which in Spanish means "Latin" but which as an English word is probably a shortening of the Spanish word latinoamericano—refers more exclusively to persons or communities of Latin American origin (people from Mexico, Central/South America and islands of the Caribbean) Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hispanic

Chicano Chicano is used only of Mexican Americans, not of Mexicans living in Mexico The literary and political movements of the 1960s and 1970s among Mexican Americans established Chicano as a term of ethnic pride, and it is properly written today with a capital http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/+Chicano
