@johnwatkins2728 Being Latin (Latin in English and not Latino). Latino is incorrect in English ok? Well, being Latin has nothing to do with blood. Latin refers ONLY to spoken Latin Languages and Latin Culture. Both the Latin language was the language spoken by the Romans. Then the Romance languages: Italian , French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish derive from the Latin. Then again the Latin Culture is the culture spread by the conquering Romans.
It's not enough speaking a Latin language to be a Latin. You must be culturally Latin/s.In Latin America you are not totally culturally Latins because in the 200 years since the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, left what they called "Latin America" you have developed your own local culture. However, this is not what I'm objecting to . What I don't agree with is the fact that you use the term Latin/Latino/Latina exclusively to identify yourselves without any consideration about the real Latin people of Europe and you give different meanings to the term Latin/Latino/Latina when they only refers to Language and culture. Most of you think that Latin/Latino is the Color of Your Skin and that you must be Dark/Mestizo to be Latin!!!. You often see people identifying themselves as Half Latin and Half African. This is not right. Latin is not about Race, Ethnicity or Blood. And I want to clarify: It was not the United States that gave you the term Latino (Which is incorrect in English anyway). It's LATIN in English. It was a Mestizo man called Frank del Olmo who about 25 years ago chose the term Latino instead of Latin American to identify the "Ethnicity" of all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas. This is no right. Latin/Latino means one thing and Latin American means another. You are "Latin Americans" and identifying as Latins means that you have inherited the linguistic and cultural identity of the Romans. Even admitting that you were culturally "Latins" only in certain instances you could mention the term Latin/Latino and only to identify your culture and not the way you do. You use the term Latin/Latino for almost anything that you do. There is even one Liquor with the slogan "Savor Latino". This is a lie because there is no such a thing. Even the Latin Europeans seldom say Latin/Latino/Latina except when they have to identify their culture, their heritage otherwise they say :WHITE or Italian, French, etc., etc..or just European. You have to do the same: identifying yourselves by your own races/races or just say Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican etc., etc., or just Latin Americans. Got it?

@amandagarcia4341 Well, you don't want to see a Latino/Latina/Latin meaning one thing in Italy and Europe, where actually the Latin comes from , and another meaning of "Latino/Latina/Latin" in "Latin America". However, the people of Latin America could use the term Latino/Latina even though they feel no attachment to Roman culture but at the appropriate time when for instance you want to identify your culture then you say my culture is Latin (in English is Latin and in Italian, Romanian, Portugal and Spain is Latino/Latina). But only then. The fact is that if you don't feel any attachment to Latin Europe then saying "Soy Latino/Soy Latina" is a contradiction because you're actually saying that you are claiming Roman culture!!! After all whether you like it or not Europe because of past colonization you speak a Latin language and you're going to be speaking for a long, long time, and as far as laws your countries have all laws derived from Roman Laws and then the Roman Catholicism and this is all Latin. You don't like all of this but this is what you follow every day. So the Latin is used properly only when identifying ones language and culture. In all other case you have to find a Racial Identity, a RACE, for yourself like we all do. Same as with the Latin Europeans they don't keep saying "I'm Latin, I'm Latin" ad infinitum. They identify themselves with their race except when they have to show their cultural heritage then they say "We're Latins" or "As a Latin I would prefer Opera" just for clarity. Have good one.

Hey...excuse me stop using the wrong term "Latino or Latin" because you don't know what it means and where this great language and culture come from. You are Latin Americans. Latino means something else and it's not your heritage. You're not Romans, not Italians and not Latin Europeans: French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards. You are "Latin Americans" Not the same. And Latino is incorrect, grammatically incorrect when writing or talking in English. The right way is LATIN singular and LATINS plural. You have to use your race to identify yourselves as we all do including the Latin Europeans. We all use our race. Europeans Latins or not use: WHITE to identify themselves and these are the races: White, Black, Asians and Red--Skin Indian or for you a mix of it but not Latino or Latin. You can also say Mexicans, Colombians or just Latin Americans. Latino/Latin is not your "native" heritage. There was nothing Latin on this continent before the Latin European colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, brought it here with their Latin-derived languages, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Latin/Latino only refers to languages and Latin Culture and nothing else. There is no Latin Skin Color, there is no Latin Ethnicity, there is no Latin Food, and there is no Latin Dance and one cannot be half Latin and half African. Everything Latin/Latino be it the Latin People, the Latin Language and the Latin Culture all comes from Italy, Roman Italy. Latin, not your "native" heritage. It's all Italian and all European.
This woman is angry. Go to see what she has to say:

@johnwatkins2728 True Latinos, that is true Latins were people located in the region of Latium, Italy, now known as Lazio. They were incorporated by the more powerful next door Romans and the Romans adopted the language of the Latins and in a nutshell the Romans eventually united all the different groups then living in Italy and spread the Latin language, Latin culture, Roman Laws and later Christianity. You're right in a way that 2000 years later there is very little Latin DNA or blood in today's Italians with all the mixing they went throughout the centuries. However, being Latins today is no longer about genes/DNA or race. It's about Language and culture and this is what we have in common in Europe among the Latin people: Italians, French, Romanians, Portuguese and Spaniards. What we have in common which makes us Latins is the languages which originated from the Latin language, the culture, our Latin Culture, our Roman Laws and the Roman Catholic religion. This is what means being Latins. In Spanish plural is Latinos/Latinas but only when speaking or writing in in Spanish).

@SalvusGratiumFidem You only know half of the story, which is good, but you need to learn more.
Latino/Latina is in Italian,, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish languages.
In English it's grammatically incorrect to say "Latino-Latina". The correct way as you say is "LATIN singular and LATINS plural, masculine and feminine. However the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas use it and it's wrong . Twice wrong. One, in English is LATIN and Two, to identify themselves they have either use their RACE or just say "Latin American" or Mexican , Cuban, Puerto Rican, etc., etc. The person who made this mess was their "Amigo" Frank del Olmo. He chose the term "Hispanic-Latino" as an Ethnicity"!!! for all the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas. Frank del Olmo was ignorant in Roman Latin History and had no idea of what Hispanic and Latino really meant.

@danotazmedia You don't have to mention a Race when identifying yourself. In fact I seldom say White. However you can identify yourself as a Spaniard or use the country you living now. I know that it gets confused and in the future it's going to get more and more confused for all of us. What I would say is that if you have inherited the Latin Culture and the Latin Culture is not eating "Latin Food" because "Latin Food" doesn't exist or "Pollo con Arroz" , which has nothing to do with Latin, you can when is required say that your culture is Latin and can say :" Mi cultura es Latina" if you are from Latin America. It depend on where you live and how you were brought up. The truth is that the term Latin/Latino/Latina can only be used when identifying ones language and culture and this is the problem. The Mexican woman, I empathize with her but she's also wrong. What she doesn't understand is that we cannot go back 500 years and change what happened in the past. Yes, the Spaniards, Portuguese and French came and colonized but this is what people did in those days. Yes, it disrupted the life of the indigenous people but man has been bad since Adam and Eve. We cannot go back and change and what she says about rapes is an exaggeration. It's possible that some rapes have occurred but when the Spanish.Portuguese/French authorities established governments in what is now Latin America these evil act would have been punished. The truth is that those Europeans came here without women and just married local indigenous women and had children with them and she's one of those children. Apart from this she's wrong saying that she's not a "Latin woman". She speaks fluently Spanish, which is a Latin Language, she comes or her family comes from Mexico whose laws are based on Roman Laws and her Religion is Roman Catholic. This is what makes a person culturally Latin. She cannot get away from that. It's part of what she is. The only problem is that Latin/Latino/Latina is used the wrong way among Latin Americans. They used it to identity their Skin Color, or their Ethnicity or their DNA when Latin/Latino/Latina only refers to languages and culture. What she has to say is that she's Mexican or Latin American of origin then of somebody asks her about her culture she can say "Latin" and I think that she should also o say 'American" because after all this country, the United States, is giving her a good life.For instance myself I never say that I'm Latin unless we're talking about culture which seldom comes up. I would say yes at time "White" but most of time I say Italian or European. I hope that this rant gives you a better idea.
