Lol...
And yes people from South America with the exception of Belize are Latino...
You can't be of Latin descent...without the influence from Spain and Portugal...
People from Latin America aren't Spanish...however...that's just some nikka shyt because a nikka speak Spanish...therefore they Spanish...
People from Latin America...can be White, Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mulatto, Mestizo, Indigenous...all types of shyt...
The ones that we typically see in the USA are White, Mestizo, Indigenous, Black and Mulatto...
And Indigenous people are Asian settlers from thousands of years ago...
Keep it short...
Latino does not mean Hispanic
Latinos can be Hispanic
Latin people aren't Indigenous to Latin America
Indigenous people are settler from Asia that populated South America...
Latinos aren't Indigenous, but have trace elements of the DNA and culture...
When the Spanish and Portuguese colonized South America...it became Latin America
