What does "latino" mean to you?
Is it a synonym with Latin American?
Is it a synonym with "mestizo"?
Is it a race?
Can you be "latino" without speaking Romance languages?
Can black and white "latinos" exist according to you?
I'm genuinely confused by your views.

>Is it a synonym with "mestizo"?
>Is it a race
I think that is this
I imagine that's what they mean, but mestizo itself is neither a race nor an homogeneous mix. Phenotypes and genetic compositions can vary widely within the "mestizo" umbrella.
I think that "latinos' are people like her

Not dark enough to be black or light enough to be white
I think that latinos for them is what we call "pardo" in Brazil, but with family from Latam
Actually I don't understand them either. Technically I'm latino because I was born in a latin american country, but I think in the US "latino" is some kind of race.
Either way, and I really mean no offence, I'm asking Americans specifically, not other nationalities.
So to add to the OP questions:
Are Brazilians "latino"?
>but mestizo itself is neither a race nor an homogeneous mix
Not even they know...
Is just a way to say "you re not white!"
Afro latinxs
theyre brown and speak spanish
People who came to the US from Central or South America
Like this?
They’re also called “latinos” in argentina or is it like brazil?
I’m actually mexican but I’m at Chicago for vacations
"latino" is mainly an American thing. It started spreading elsewhere.
>What does "latino" mean to you?
Someone whose ancestors are from Latin America.
>Is it a synonym with Latin American?
Yes or a diaspora
>Is it a synonym with "mestizo"?
No but only because I am wise from years on Jow Forums and know that Latinos come in all colors of the rainbow. (mostly mestizo tho)
>Is it a race?
No but informally since most latinos here are Mexican you can get away with treating it as a race even if it doesn't always make sense.
>Can you be "latino" without speaking Romance languages?
Yes, a CHI is latino even if he speaks no Spanish. Because muh heritage.
>Can black and white "latinos" exist according to you?
Yes but I have seen the very idea of a white/black Latino shock and anger some people.
>Is it a synonym with "mestizo"?
>Is it a race?
Both of these
Chicano here and I agree with this. Nobody here cares enough to make a distinction. People see me and call me Mexican, simple as that
Someone from a Latin American country, they’re usually mestizos but can also be mulattos or white (ish?).
Are Brazilians consider Latinos? We just call them Brazilian.
People don't call Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio Mexican, I think there is element of class or something too
We call them Latinos dipshit wtf
Ah, well I haven’t met many Brazilians. I don’t even use “Latino”, I think calling people from LatAm “Hispanic” is the norm.
Yeah the lighter skinned ones are seen differently, I guess those would be hispanic/latino since they're not as easy to identify.
Its just the easiest word to describe ones ethnic background and to be vague about it at the same time. I consider my self American and not some denomination of it. I think calling yourself anything other than just American just promotes the thought that some Americans are more than others.
To most people even the most progressive it means spanish speaking vaguely brown people
What if said people stop speaking Spanish in a generation or two?
I wont know what happens in the future
Today if you ask someone about an English speaking mestizo they're still thought of as latinos at best or mexicans at worst
and by worst and best I simply mean that they those delineations are the closest and furthest from the truth, not that they are inherently good or bad
There are Mexican-Americans who don't speak Spanish already, no?
>that boomer Mexican that has to point out his country is 5% white actually
This has nothing with Mexico being white or not (which it isn't, btw). But about a term that doesn't make sense to me.
...
Drop the proxy mutt
I could have posted a black Mexican in the US, but I couldn't think of any famous black Mexican who migrated there.
Is this a latino?
ew desu
What about the African girl that was in that slave movie
lol I dont think you get the boomer meme
Oh yeah.
Finland
Portugal
Brazil
Mexico
Spain
The butthurt belt of Jow Forums.
Personally I'd call her Black long before I call her Latino.
same here, I'd call him black.
I'd call her white
I dont' think latino means mestizo but you have to at least be Spanish or something. I'd call Ted Cruz "Latino" even though I don't think he's mixed but not Louis CK.
Of course, but America is weird with who people consider as part of the public
A lot of whites acknowledge non-whites as citizens, but don't really consider them as part of the public body
It's where the skewed view of how white America is by many Americans because they simply don't consider many non-whites as being a part of the public
Why would the fuck would you call someone who’s Spanish Latino
Fucking idiotic
You have a problem with logic?
Americans are invaded by brown goblins from South America, they call them latinos. If you have a problem understanding this term it's because you are low-IQ, not because there is anything confusing about it.
If they have some Spanish-blood from Latin America then they are Latino, they can be mixed or not doesn't matter.
If they are 0% Spanish and are German or some shit where does the LATIN come from in LATIN America?
Go hate Spaniards somewhere else m8

This mixed guy has blue eyes while the average "white" american under 30 doesn´t... The average white american under 30 looks an arab with dark eyes.
How the right-wingers deal with this fact??
Ted Cruz = Not mixed, but has SPANISH last name from Cuba, dark hair, okay he is Latino.
Louis CK = Not mixed, has hungarian last name, red hair uhhhh yeah he is not Latino to me.
"Latin America" as a term was invented by France. In Latin America at least, not sure about the US, it just means that 1) you were born in Latin America and 2) you speak a romance speaking language, regardless of your heritage.
In Argentina "latino" is someone who was born in latin american, period. It's not a race.
Right wingers dont care about blue eyes lol thats some kind of /intpol/ meme
Spanish are not Latino by any means. But then again you had to create a thread to understand the world Latino in the first place so I guess you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed.
We aren't tainted with a casta system
See it from our perspective, people from southern countries are brown and usually speak spanish
We don't have words for your classifications so if you look brown or speak spanish you might get called latino
No one puts in any thought beyond that
Zoe Saldaña
Latina or Black?
I don't know why you are so retarded.
It's basically what this guy is saying
How the fuck do you live next to the country and not know this. This is common knowledge literally for everyone. It's literally how we use the term here too.
I was trying to figure out if Americans used "latino" as a substitute for Latin American. Which they apparently don't. Also, that guy was talking about Ted Cruz as "Spanish", which he is not.
Oh, you’re the mentally ill faggot. I remember you from another thread. Kinda wish you died. You poison every thread about Latin America with your retarded views that no one else shares.
Latino refers to the ethnic groups from Latin America. Hispanic refers specifically to someone who is of Spanish descent or who speaks Spanish natively. The U.S. census considers them the same thing, only distinguishing between non-white and white hispanic/latino.
I think to most, Hispanic=Mexican and Latino=everyone else. Neither are a race, they're ethnic groups. Mestizo is basically just Hispanic. If you don't speak a romance language, that pretty much means you're some kind of immigrant or an indigenous person, so you could be latino but not hispanic. Of course black and white latinos exist.
>im genuinely confused by your views
I had a Mexican at the school I'm going to try to tell me that the U.S. needs to raise their kids better like they do in Mexico so we won't have school shootings anymore, right after he got done telling us about how it's not uncommon to see dismembered bodies in the streets in Mexico. He failed to see the irony. Generalizing (like you are), I am probably more confused about Mexican views than you are about American ones.
This mixed girl has blue eyes while the average "white" american under 30 doesn´t... The average white american under 30 looks an arab with dark eyes.
How the right-wingers cope with this fact??
Latinx to me basically means "person from Mexico" because I assume everybody brown and short with funny English accents are Mexicans
>how the right-wingers cope with this face??
Blue eyes and blonde hair=white? Most white people have dark hair and dark eyes, but white skin. You do realize people are talking about the color of skin when they bring up "skin color" right?
It just makes no sense for me to call someone who doesn't speak Spanish/Portuguese/French and who wasn't born in Latin America a "latino". Since that's literally what "Latin American" means, like this guy says .
I see no reason to not use "mestizo" if that's what you really want to say, but then again
Speak for yourself shitskin, in North West Europe the majority of people have blue yes. I don't know a single Norwegian that does not have blue yes.
Yeah I know, I've seen Latinos on Jow Forums argue that Quebec is Latino too because they do speak a Latin language and are in the Americas.
However I have not seen it use this way in USA. For me, its LATINamerica heritage, regardless what language you speak, meaning Spanish or Portuguese or even Italian/French either alone or mixed with Native, mixed with black is Afro-Latino. My aunt is very Italian I consider her Latino because Italy is still Latin and many Italians moved to Latinamerica to escape wars.
I know a German-Mexican might count as technically Latino, but I don't see them that way. They are Germinos. Hungarian-Mexicans are Hungarinos.
Spanish heritage via Cuba, thus CRUZ.
For me its a mark of heritage. Thats why. I do want to learn Spanish too.
Ok, so "latino" =//= Latin American.
Equatorial Guinea
Latino or not?
Less than half of the white population has blue eyes, fuck nuts. This information is readily available online to find at anytime. White=skin color, not hair color or eye color, end of discussion. I thought your Northern European countries were supposed to have good schools?
>Latino refers to ethnic groups from Latin America
No, latino=Latin America. I don't give a shit what jackasses think it means or how they use it incorrectly, anymore than I give a shit if some retard thinks 2+2=5.
>What does "latino" mean to you?
Sudacas and centracas
>Is it a synonym with Latin American?
Yes
>Is it a synonym with "mestizo"?
No
>Is it a race?
No
>Can you be "latino" without speaking Romance languages?
Yes
>Can black and white "latinos" exist according to you?
If they come from a sudaca country or the caribbean yes
>I'm genuinely confused by your views.
It's ok, it's done like this on purpose
White = being of Germanic heritage. Meaning the people from Britain, Scandinavia, Germany and related people.
In Scandinavia, the vast vast majority of people have blue yes. If you do not have blue yes here, it means your family has mixed with other tribes in the past. No big deal, but you are not pure.
Less than half "white" population has blue yes. Actual white people have blue yes in 90% of cases.
Dark eyes+Dark Hair+Light skin = God tier genetics
Blue "eyes" + Piss "hair" + Pink "skin" = Nordoid shitetics.
>he thinks Germans are white
Holy shit its like a meme come to life lmao
I agree blonde hair looks like shit, but I am just here saying facts. Blue eyes is extremely common in Western Europe. Go to the Netherlands you will see the same as in Norway when it comes to blue yes (90% of Dutch people will have them), same as Danes same as Swedes and so on.
But you are just projecting. I can tell from how you post that you do not have blue yes. Shitskins always project, it's normal.
Well according to the US census all Europeans are classified as white
Muh dick
hmmm
Your posts in the one that makes the most sense to me ITT. But...
>Can you be "latino" without speaking Romance languages?
>Yes
How so? (I can think in some examples; I should have been a bit more specific with this question)
Nobody cares what Amerimutts have decided to call white.
If you want to know what the people who made America into what it is thought about race you should read the literature of Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard and you would be embarrassed to even call yourself American with your shitskin eyes.
Not him but:
1) Latin American diaspora in USA who speak just English
2) Deaf people and nonverbal retards living in Latin America
Found 2 examples
Think of it like this. We have Asian Americans like Chinese and Japanese who don't and will never speak the language of their forefathers. Yet we still call them Chinese/Japanese/etc, everyone knows they aren't but it's just an easy way to classify them since they may still have some traditions/names from where their grandparents came from
And? It doesn't matter what those old bones thought but what the average American thinks since our views get exported and no one else's gets imported
Average American if "white" is a mutt who's blood comes mostly from 20th century immigration that has no connection to the old American. To say you don't care about this is admitting that you don't have a history in the country.
>2) Deaf people and nonverbal retards living in Latin America
These are objectively Latin Americans, alongside the very few natives who do not speak romance languages
>1) Latin American diaspora in USA who speak just English
These are objectively not Latin Americans since they weren't born in Latin America and don't speak romance languages. Maybe they are "latinos" if you argue that both terms have different meanings. Because Latin American just doesn't apply here, sorry.
>To say you don't care about this is admitting that you don't have a history in the country.
Are you expecting some applause?
I consider Latino people that was born in Latin America and look like a mestizo. White people from Argentina aren't Latino, as neither are blacks, asians or native americans born there
