They are? Says who?

Latino is a term used for people from Latin-America. Europeans don’t use that term. Spanish people consider themselves Spaniards. Portuguese are Lusitano.

Most Portuguese consider themselves white. Some can be darker skinned, more like a Middle Eastern olive tone, given the long Arabic presence in the area centuries ago.

You do realize most speakers of Portuguese are from Brazil with a population of 214.3 million as compared to Portugal with a population of 10 million. So statistically if you hear someone speaking Portuguese chances are they are from Brazil.

Well ACTUALLY...
You do realize that Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese Portuguese sound completely different, don't you?
I live in a city with many Portuguese people from Brazil and from Portugal. There is no way to confuse them.

Portugual is a wuropean colonizer country. They're not Latinos. They oppressed the natives

Depends on who you ask. Anyone remember the movie Mystic Pizza? They were most certainly considered "other" at one time.
(Everyone in that movie pronounced it as "PORT-a-geese" too!)

People from Spain qualify as Hispanic. People from Brazil qualify as Latino. White people from Portugal are white, nothing else.

Or Spanish speakers from Latin America

Ha ha ask the Portuguese Americans in RI how much they love black people.

Do you mean people from Portugal or people who speak Portuguese?

There are POC in Portugal, and there are white people in Portugal. Just speaking Portuguese does not make one a POC.

Kinda like America.

They speak Portuguese, not Spanish. And I knew a few students in college who were pretty dark skinned. Are they POC ?
