  10. I'm not talking about the Spanish language. My argument is about the twisting of the meaning of the term Latin/Latino/Latina. You are Latin Americans. This is what the French called that part of the Americas so you are Latin Americans and Latin Americans cannot be shortened into Latino/Latina . Latin/Latino/Latina already have a Roman meaning going back 2000 years and only refers to Roman Latin languages and Roman Latin Culture. Nothing to do with your Skin Color, nothing to do with your Blood. Most of you think that Latin/Latino/Latina is your Race or your Dark Skin Color and this is not true and there is no Latin Food, there is no Latin Music. It's all your invention. You have to do like we all do using your Race/Races to identify yourselves or choose your country of origin like Mexican, Cuban...or Latin American/s but not Latino. Latin/Latino/Latina can ONLY be used when identifying ones culture and never as a personal identification but this is exactly what you do. Even the Latin European: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards don't use the Latin label very often except when they have to identify their culture otherwise they say: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards or just Europeans. The fact is that most of you have no idea of what Latin is and where this great culture comes from and what "Latin" America means and who and why was named "Latin" America (Amerique Latine). I know that the person who made this mess , Mexican Chicano Frank del Olmo, didn't know anything about the Romans and their Latin Language and culture which they imposed upon those that they colonized in Europe and when the Latin European colonizers , French, Portuguese and Spaniards,came to what is now known as the Americas they imposed their Latin upon the local indigenous population. My objection is that first in correct English is not Latino and not Latina. In correct English is LATIN singular and LATINS plural masculine and feminine and secondly Spanish-speaking people of the Americas must learn what it means to be a Latin and must call themselves by their Race/Races,, by their Countries or say Latin Americans and not Latino/Latina and now the latest gimmick Latinx. You or some of you can identify as Latins but ONLY in certain situations. I hope that i clarified the issue. No, I have nothing against you speaking Spanish. To give you a better unbiased idea of what being Latins is I will leave here the website of the former LATIN UNION where they list the requirements to be considered Latins. It goes back to the Latin-derived languages (Romance Languages) Latin Culture, Roman Laws and Roman Catholicism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Union

  12.  @siren71 If you're Latin American this is what you have to use to identify yourself "Latin American" or just Mexican, Cuban, etc., etc.., like we all do. Even us the Latin European seldom say Latin unless we are identifying our cultural heritage. Latin is not our race. Latin is the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Roman and Italians. It will never change. As for ancient Latins and the Romans they left us, the Italians, this heritage and it's ours and not yours. As for the Latino, which is not correct in English-correct is LATIN, it was adopted by Mexican Frank del Olmo to unite all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas under one label. He chose Latino instead of Latin American and he was wrong. Latin American is not the same as Latino. Latino/Latin means one thing and Latin American means another. What you're doing by using the term Latino/Latina the way you do is called "Cultural Appropriation". There was nothing Latin in what is now Latin America before the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, brought it there with their LATIN-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish. This video is about Hispanic and Latinx. These are the Hispanics: Spaniards and Portuguese and why? Because the Romans called HISPANIA what is now Spain and Portugal. This is history and cannot be changed by you. Latinx. Is too close to Latin. You haver no right to twist and change this Roman term to fit you agenda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyAjG4hPckA&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj2wotjd3nw&t=79s NO HISPANIC, NO LATIN, NO LATINO, NO LATINA, NO LATINX. YOU ARE LATIN AMERICANS . YOU ONLY SPEAK LATIN DERIVED LANGUAGES, SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE, WHICH WERE IMPOSED UPON YOU BY THE LATIN EUROPEAN COLONIZERS, YOU HAVE NO LATIN CULTURE. THE LATIN CULTURE IS THE CULTURE OF THE ROMANS.

  27.  @shar6389  Como dije, las cosas están cambiando en Estados Unidos. En muchas jurisdicciones ya no enumeran la raza de los padres de los niños, solo ponen los nombres de los padres. Lo que estoy tratando de transmitir es que las personas de América Latina deben usar los nombres de sus países de origen como si fueran de una persona o sus padres o abuelos son de México y deben identificarse como "Mexicanos" o "Cubanos" si de Cuba y no de Latinos (Latino / Latina ". Es incorrecto porque el Latín solo se usa para la identificación cultural y no para la identificación personal). Como dije antes, soy Italiano y si alguien me pregunta quién soy no digo "soy Latino". Digo "soy Italiano" ya veces digo que soy Europeo ", depende, pero nunca digo que soy Latino a menos que alguien me pregunte cuál es mi cultura les digo "My cultura sea Latina ", pero SOLO entonces. Los latinoamericanos usan Latin / Latino / Latina para todo lo que hacen, incluso para identificar el color de su piel. Color de piel Latino. Muchos piensan que el Latín es su color de piel oscuro. Aquí tenemos restaurantes que anuncian su "cocina Latina" en lugar de Cocina latinoamericana.". Otros lugares que ofrecen clases de Música Latina y Baile Latino. Todo mal. Sé que fue el chicano Mexicano Frank del Olmo quien se equivocó al elegir el término "Latino" para unir a todos los hispanohablantes de las Américas bajo una sola etiqueta, pero estaba equivocado. Debería haber elegido "latinoamericanos" si quería unirlos bajo una sola etiqueta. Lo que me opongo es la interpretación del término Latín y la falta de conocimiento del significado real y el origen de esta cultura Romana. Hasta luego.

  42.  @teachervengeance  I never said that you should identify yourself/yourselves Latinx. What I've been saying is that you should stop identifying yourselves as Latins (Latinos/Latinas in Spanish) because you are not Latins. You are NICAN TLACA Indians from what the Latin European French colonizers called "Amerique Latine" (Latin America). Sorry you are not a Latin man. You are a Latin American man. These are the Latin men: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards and have been Latins for more than 2000 years since the Romans, the Romans who spoke the Latin language and imposed it upon them. By the way Latino is not only a Spanish word. Latino/Latina are also Italian and Portuguese words. And the term Latin (Latino/Latina) it's only a cultural term and cannot be used as a personal identification like you do. The term Latin it's only used when a person asks which is your culture then you can say "My culture is Latin" and only then. By misusing the term Latin you are denigrating my Roman Latin Culture. Blame Mexican Chicano Frank del Olmo. He created this identity problem for you when he wanted to unite all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas under one label but he chose the wrong "Latino" label instead of "Latin Americans" apart from the fact that "Latino" is grammatically correct in English. You have options: Use the country of your origin to identify yourself like Mexican, Honduran , Cuban or Latin American and leave the Latin alone. Latin is not the color of your skin. Latin is the language and culture of the Romans. You may also want to identify yourself as a NICAN TLACA indian as Ms. Citlalli of mexica-movement.org is advising her people to do. Have fun with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EkV7T6FgRY
