Do you consider people from Spain to be Latinos?

I consider them Spanish as they consider themselves.

You're showing real ignorance. You think the movies are real life?

Germans went to Latin America at the same time they came to the U.S. in the 1800's. Some Nazis fled Europe and went to other countries such as the U.S. or Latin America. Many Europeans including Germans left Europe because Europe was devastated after the war.

Please educate yourselves. Stating that Germans in Latin America are Nazis that fled Europe is like stating Germans in the U.S. are Nazis that fled Europe. That is beyond ignorant.

This.

People from Spain are Hispanic because they’re from the Iberian peninsula.

Latinos are from Latin America which is a completely different continent than Spain.

Sigh. Latinos aren't a race. They can be of any race. So if a couple of Asians move to South America and have and raise a kid there, and the kid speaks Spanish, then yes the kid is Latino.

What if they move to the US immediately after the kid is born? Is the kid still Latino simply by virtue of having been born in South America? Just trying to figure out if you consider the term binary or a spectrum. Like is it only about place of birth, or is being raised in South America (and speaking Spanish or Portuguese) required too?

Just sub that for a kid born in Canada and raised in America. Is kid Canadian or American (not just citizenship status)?

Is the kid who was born in Argentina "Latino"? Why or why not?
