[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latino is not a race. [b]It refers to a group of people who come from a place where Romance languages are spoken (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Romanian). 
[/b]
And yes, within these groups there are people of different racial backgrounds. Latin America is a melting pot of people from African, Asian, Native American, and European heritage.

No, that is not what Latino means.  French people are not Latino.  If you're going to drop into the thread with a random correction that tangential to the topic, at least be correct[/quote]
 
Oh heavens, first PP. Please educate yourself before you post. Latino/Latina is different from hispanic, and you are AT BEST switching those two things, but I'm not sure you understand either....[/quote]

To be fair, it’s confusing AF. I’m married to a Hispanic man, he uses both terms, and I still have no idea what exactly they mean.

Filling out forms for our kids makes things even more confusing, because he says I need to list them as “white Hispanic”.

I just don’t talk about any of it because I’ll probably say the wrong thing. The only word that ever comes out of my mouth is “white” and it’s when I’m referring to myself. [/quote]
