I am going to do a thread in English explaining what it is to be Latino, since many ignorant gringos think that it is a race and not an ethnicity.

What is being Latino? thread
Latino is the one who speaks the Romance languages, a language that comes from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire.
Romance languages ​​are closely related to each other and appeared as an evolution from vulgar Latin and opposed to classical Latin.
The romance languages ​​with the largest number of speakers are: spanish, french, portuguese, italian and romanian.
Where did the concept of Latin America come from? Latin America is a concept created by the French to be able to feel included in Ibero America.
Therefore to be Latin American is to speak the Romance languages, to have been born in Latin America and to belong to one of its different cultures. Since each Latin American country has different cultures and some similar depending on the region to which they belong.
Therefore, one can be Latino regardless of which race he / she belongs to, one can be Latino being white, amerindian, black and mestizo.
End of the thread.
