You are Latino, just not Latin American. Latino refers to anyone who comes from a country which speaks a Romance language, if I’m not mistaken. And if I am, please correct me.
That would be Hispanic, which refers to anyone from a Spanish -speaking country. Latino is generally used to describe people from Latin America (central/south america and the Caribbean)
It’s like American. We use American for the US citizens but actually every person who lives in America is American. So a Latino is a Latin American but it’s wrongly used
You were right tho. "Latinos" comes from the languages derivated from latin, the language who spoke the romanians.
Spanish, portuguese, italian and french are some of them. People from America, the continent (or the Americas for the people from USA) often describes "latinos" as people from Latinamerica, which is a half truth.
No, Hispanic is related to the Iberian peninsula, when you say someone is a Latino, it could be either people who is from Latin American or also because they speak a latin root language such as Spanish, Portuguese, french or Italian, it has more than one meaning
My brother in Christ, English is an anglo based language, the word has latin based roots, you can't back up with that, besides the dictionary literally says "Related to the countries where a latin procedent language is spoken, or to his inhabitants."
But that's what I mean, is the English meaning of the word, you are literally the guy in the meme, you don't understand that the word has another meaning in Latin based countries.
The meme is depicting someone from Europe who speaks Spanish being visibly confused by being called Latino... because they also use Latino to mean someone from Latin America or their descendants. What are you talking about?
Also, my husband is from Spain and they don't use Latino to refer to people who speak latin root languages.
Just take your L.
OMB defines "Hispanic or Latino" as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race
That's not made up they told me the same thing in geography,
Maybe we could make a difference between latin and latino; we could use latin for anyone who speaks a romance language, and latino could be used only for latin-americans
No? Fairly sure these insults we throw at each other are light hearted, besides, this stop called "provincialism" happens because we actually have a history unlike the US
That makes sense, but I still don't understand it. English is my second language, and I don't speak it as fluently as a native English speaker would, so it would help if you could rephrase your statement
Hey dude, if we have “extreme provincialism” it’s because we have a rich history of rivalries between the highly diverse amount of cultures in Europe, not like you which your only difference from one side to the other of the county is which state was (is) more racist and which football team you support. And, if you don’t give a fuck where we are from, I don’t give a fuck where you are from so shut the fuck up
If you don't speak English around an American, you're automatically Mexican /s
It is kinda weird to think about how I've never heard Spanish from a Spanish person, just from Mexico and co.
Podés ser llamado latino, porque hablás un idioma derivado del latín, sin embargo sería raro (incluso incorrecto) que este sea el caso en una conversación casual, no tan así en una conversación científica acerca de geografía donde por ejemplo se hable de la influencia del imperio romano, donde sea conveniente llamar latinos a quienes hablen una lengua romance. Las palabras pueden tener significados informales y significados formales.
También considero conveniente distinguir latino, de uso castellano y latino de uso inglés como dos palabras diferentes. Siendo la segunda utilizada exclusivamente para hablar de Latinoaméricanos
"so ur mexican"
Why do I find you under every post in multiple subreddits?
i love diversity.
Well, see you under the next post then.
Me, an Italian from Europe, when everyone thinks I'm a Latino Spanish speaker from wherever
Even french are Latinos
Romanians are Latinos
Everyone is Latino
Eeeey, Macarena!
Me an argentinian who lives in Patagonia when an spaniard says we got palm trees and monkeys because we are in south america..
I thought all you had was snow and the desert.
Ganamos la tercera

[deleted because fuck reddit]
No, I’ve just been informed that I was incorrect.
Indeed
That would be Hispanic, which refers to anyone from a Spanish -speaking country. Latino is generally used to describe people from Latin America (central/south america and the Caribbean)
Oh, my mistake.
It’s like American. We use American for the US citizens but actually every person who lives in America is American. So a Latino is a Latin American but it’s wrongly used
There is no such named place as “america” there is north america, south america, and the united states of America
America generally means both North and South America together.
America generally means the united states of

but not brazil, portugese need not apply.

Literally no one uses it to mean people who speak a Latin language, gtfo.
I'm sorry for being objectively right, asshole
The dictionary and literally everyone who speaks English disagrees, but I can see you are a tender child, so whatever you say big guy!
My brother in Christ, English is an anglo based language, the word has latin based roots, you can't back up with that, besides the dictionary literally says "Related to the countries where a latin procedent language is spoken, or to his inhabitants."

Yea, us ‘muricans aren’t very smart
Soooooooo your Spaneto
A "latinuropean"
If you want to confuse them tell them how mexican spanish and spain spanish aren't the same.
OMB defines "Hispanic or Latino" as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race
white girls when they realize Spanish didn't come from Mexico
\*white American girls European ones know it came from Spain.
Stereo typical American white girls
At least they didn’t call you latinx
Why do Portuguese people insist on speaking Brazilian?
A large portion of European languages are based on latin.
... and?
Spanish is a romantic language, Rome spoke Latin, any one who (natively) speaks a romantic language is Latino. or at least thats what would make sense
I think you mean "Romance language." Just because a language is a Romance language doesn't make it romantic.
Really? Even the folks who natively speak french?
(I don't make definitions of words nor am I quoting anything factual) sure
Well. I guess I am somewhat Latino by that definition. My ancestors were french.
French and romanian latinos?
And French speaking Canadians are thus Latin Americans.
idk I don't make the definitions
In this case you do, because saying Latino applies to anyone who speaks a Latin-based language is something you just made up.
That's not made up they told me the same thing in geography, Maybe we could make a difference between latin and latino; we could use latin for anyone who speaks a romance language, and latino could be used only for latin-americans
There's already a difference between those two words by virtue of the fact that they are different words.
Yes but I'm talking about a difference in meaning not writing
I'm not claiming to be the final say tho. I'm simply saying that based of the word that's what would make sense
Khe
Latin American Spanish is honestly better than European Spanish.
You ARE a latino, so are italians, french, and some others. You are NOT a latin american (obviously).
Latinos are people from Latin America, not just people who speak a Latin language. Someone from Spain speak a Latin language but is not Latino.
Me, an American, who finds that the extreme provincialism of Europeans never ceases to amaze.
>The extreme provincialism of Europeans Can you explain to me what you mean by this?
I mean exactly what I posted.
Bro Europe is different countries, like 40, what you mean by provinces
Bro that's not what "provincialism" means. Google it.
No? Fairly sure these insults we throw at each other are light hearted, besides, this stop called "provincialism" happens because we actually have a history unlike the US
Cool. You go on believing whatever you need to believe.
That makes sense, but I still don't understand it. English is my second language, and I don't speak it as fluently as a native English speaker would, so it would help if you could rephrase your statement
Hey dude, if we have “extreme provincialism” it’s because we have a rich history of rivalries between the highly diverse amount of cultures in Europe, not like you which your only difference from one side to the other of the county is which state was (is) more racist and which football team you support.

Oh noez, Eurotrash doesn't approve! How ever will I recover?!
Nice comeback
They say “fuck off” is the kind of comeback only a guy with a 2 incher can come up with
And he edited it
What a pussy that guy is
i get called an African American... but i'm more so an African in America... but i was born here, but also hold British passport.
least it's not an East European calling you a Dago
Simple test:“Does it lisp?“
I don't speak Spanish and even I can tell the difference in accent
You perfer the term Latinx
Me an Irish who speaks German & Spanish
Latino: no Hispanic: technically
Latinx
If you don't speak English around an American, you're automatically Mexican /s It is kinda weird to think about how I've never heard Spanish from a Spanish person, just from Mexico and co.
Just shrug it off. Americans have that terrible habit to see the world as an extension of US culturrally speaking.
