I'm an American living in Brazil....so let's see how my take on this goes... My wife is brazilian, carioca da gema, and she says that honestly she never really thought about it. Most Brazilians just think of themselves as Brazilian. But she does say that she is Latina, she sees the meaning of the word and understands that it applies to her(she lives in latin America, she speaks a romance language, and she is a descendant of Italians and Portuguese) so she says that she is Latina, but doesn't care or think about the term. I think most brazilians feel a similar way, they recognize that they are Latino but don't care enough to include that in their identity, they're just... brazilian

O brasileiro no geral torce o nariz para a América latina, o termo latino foi "pejorativizado" pelos norte americanos, tachando como sendo aquele cara pequenino, que fala fino, com bigode grande, olhos puxados, feições meio indígenas e que fala espanhol. Por isso muitas pessoas não gostam do termo, inclusive eu. Me considero brasileiro e sul americano, eu não saio por aí chamando um norte americano de "anglo-saxão-americano" só porque ele mora na América anglo-saxônica e fala o inglês ou um italiano de "latino-europeu" só porque ele mora na europa latina e fala uma língua derivada do latim. Quero ser reconhecido pela minha nacionalidade e não pelo termo usado para definir falantes de tal família linguistica como eslavos, germânicos, celtas, latinos, gregos, bálticos, o que seja. Se é pra definir latino, só quem vive do México pra baixo, é melhor chamar todo mundo que fala língua românica de latino também, sem distinções. Minha opinião ✌🏻

Fácil de responder. Sou Americano 🇺🇸 e Brasileiro 🇧🇷. O nome oficial do Brasil é, Republica Federativa do Brasil, nós não deviamos ser chamados Brasileiros e sim Brasilianos ou Brasilienses, o termo Brasileiro vem to tempo Brasil Colonia e era um termo que os Portugueses usavam pra descrever quem era da Colonia mas era utilizado de uma forma negativa, quem explica bem isso é o Peninha do Canal Buenas Ideias. Passando pro Americano. O nome official dos Estados Unidos é United States of AMERICA, (Estados Unidos da America). O termo Gentilico oficial fica Sendo American. Não tem como dizer Estado-Unidense em inglês, eu vivo em New York, todos aqui tem consciencia que há mais America doque essa America 🇺🇸, nós não quizemos Tomar o termo Americano somente para nós, é que realmente não tem como ser de outra forma. Também aqui não é inteiramente composto somente de descendentes Saxões, grande parte dos Estados Unidos pertenceu a França por um determinado periodo, outra parte pertencia a Espanha, é uma parte inclusive à Russia, ao Norte, todos esses territorios foram agregados mãos tarde por compras, através de guerras, anexos. As 13 primeiras colônias sim eram de fato anglo-saxônicas, porém os Estados Unidos possuem outros povos que formam a nação Americana. Aliás, se você pensa na palavra "ESTADOS" nos Estados Unidos, lembre-se que cada Estado age independentemente, como se cada um fosse um pequeno país, as leis são completamente diferentes, tem Estados com pena de morte, outros onde todas as drogas não descriminalizadas, outros onde você pode ter porte de arma e andar com ela na cintura porá onde queira, tem Estados onde casino é permitido, outros não. Portando todos os Estados independentes da América fica utilizando o termo Gentilico AMERICAN (Americano). Fez sentido?

[@staypositive4358]

Because the Anglos living in the USA happen to be a very racist bunch and they are quick to come up with ways to group others together so that they themselves can come across less racists and don't have to learn about people from different cultures. Hispanics as you see don't waste as much time worrying about what other countries are doing and welcome everyone regardless of background.

Most Brazilians have a certain degree of mixed but normally in between different types of European background , middle East background or African background or mixed in between both. There's some other mixes with Asians but that's minority. But as we say, literally any human being in the world could be Brazilian, there isn't as many countries as diverse racially as Brazil is.

As an Argentinian, I must say: The problem is not who is consider Latino or not. Argentinians, Brazilians, Mexicans, and everybody else is indeed Latino, just because we all speak Latin languages. The problem is in the way that people use it. Tell me: How many times have you heard the word Latino to specifically speak about something related to the origin of their languages? Just a few. It is used just as a way to make a difference between Canadá, United States, and almost every other American country below the US. And that's a very big problem. As Joanna said, some of us just do not share basically anything but language between some others. For example, both Argentina and Colombia are Latino and also South American countries. But, as an Argentinian, I can say that I've never in my life eaten chica, tamal or even arepa. Furthermore, I've never met a Colombian. On the other hand, I feel exactly the opposite feeling with Uruguay, a country that basically shares almost all cultures with mine. That is why sometimes some of us may feel a little bit uncomfortable when we are called Latino. It is not something about trying to feel superior or some bullshit like that. It is about that we literally do not feel Latino as it is usually used. (Please, forgive my level of English, it is obviously not my first language).

[@tiagonicolaisen9931]

*Traducido al español* Como argentino debo decir: El problema no está en quién cosideremos o no como latinol. Argentinos, brasileños, mexicanos y todos los demás somos latinos, tan sólo por el hecho de hablar lenguajes de origen latino. El problema está en el modo de uso que tienen estas palabras. Decime: ¿Cuántas veces escuchaste la palabra Latino con el fin de hablar acerca del origen de sus lenguas? Muy pocas. Realmente es utilizado a modo de marcar una diferencia entre Canadá, Estados Unidos, y basicamente cualquier otro país al sur de EEUU. Y ese es un problema muy grave. Tal como Joanna dijo, muchos de nosotros no compartimos casi nada a excepción del lenguaje con algunos países. Por ejemplo: Tanto Argentina como Colombia son países latinos, e incluso ambos son países sud-americanos. Pero, como Argentino puedo decir que en mi vida probe ni la chicha, ni un tamal, ni nisiquiera una arepa. Y es que hasta incluso en mi vida conocí a un colombiano en persona. Por lo contrario, me siento totalmente al revés con Uruguay, país con el que casi compartimos toda nuestra cultura. Esa es la razón del porqué algunas veces algunos de nosotros nos sentimos un tanto incómodos cuando nos llaman latinos. No es nada acerca de tratarse de sentirse superior o alguna estupidez así. Es tan sólo que literalmente no nos identificanos como latinos en la forma que normalmente se utiliza esa palabra.

Geographically, there are three Americas: North, Central and South. So Brazil is a South American country Linguistically, Brazil speaks Portuguese, a Latin language, so it is a Latin American country. Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French are Latin languages, so even the French region of Canada is Latin. Culturally, no one considers French Canada as part of Latin America, but Brazil also has a different culture from its neighboring countries If you agree that French Canada should not be included in Latin America because of a cultural difference, but you think Brazil is included because to Americans it is an "exotic" country, it only shows how "Latin" is a biased term for refer to culture and race

[@jthanrubio1126]

Quebec Province is administered by an Anglo government (English Speaking). Thus, it really isn't a Latin country. Miami is one of the most 'Latin' cities in the Western Hemisphere, all while not being a part of Latin America. Brazil is a Latinoamericano country. Though, most Brazilians are black or mixed with African, there are considerable numbers of Europeans and Mestizos (Mesticos) in Brasil.

[@jthanrubio1126]

@Isaias Ribeiro Are Jamaicans Anglo for that matter? What is the cultural and social difference between Brazil and Angola? To say you are Latino in the social sense of the term means to say you are actually Latin, or have ancestors coming from Latin Europe and your current culture is an historic link to them. It's the same for Anglos in Canada and America with their ancestors. Many Brazilians are either black or mixed with African and now want to identify more with a distinct culture...but that does not take away the fact that there are tens-of-millions of white or mixed Brazilians that do have ancestors from Latin Europe (Portuguese, Italians, Spaniards)...and they most definitely look and relate closer to people in Argentina, Uruguay, or Chile, than they do some people that live in the favelas in their country! So, to answer you...are Haitians Latino? It depends...if they have French ancestors and have adopted their ways, they are....which many have not, and do not have French ancestry! French don't do vodou, and were driven out before widespread colonies were established! In fact, many Hatians relate closer to Africa, as some Brazilians do. It can be said the same for indigenous peoples in Latin America as well. Being Latin has an historic heritage as it does racial context. Latin ancestors founded Latin America, their descendants still speak their language, practice Christianity, and inherited their values!

A few facts about we Brazilians: - Yes, we are really self-centric. Our excuses for that: - Language barrier (except for few exceptions like Shakira, we do not listen or see any content in Spanish) actualy we are very isolated when it comes to media/music/famous people. - Size: we are so big that what matters for us is very local, because the local is already big. More isolation because of that. - History: Other countries had many wars to have their independence. Brazil got it's independence by a agreement between the Portuguese Emperor with his son, that was also Portuguese and after the became the Emperor of Brazil. So, we felt like we never broke the connect with Europe. So, I think that many Brazilians misunderstand the meaning of the words "latino/latin". We are just an isolated big country. But at least, not like in the US, we do not like to create specific words to put our neighbors from Latin America in the same basket. Yes, I condidered myself latino. For me, it's much more like a geographic definition.

As a Brazilian, when I lived in USA I felt that 90% of the time that I was being called Latina, the intention was to put me in a Box w the rest of Latin America, but to be fair, even tho there are many things in Brazil different from other countries in Latin America, we have similarities. When I went to any Mexican restaurant (Brazilian food is completely different than Mexican, just to be clear) but the taste reminded me of my home. So even tho is not the same, it has similarities. What makes Brazilians angry about that is the lack of respect for our country, ppl call us Latinos bc of an accent or bc of our color and already assume that we are Hispanic! WE ARE NOT HISPANIC AT ALL! (Which is not a bad thing just to be clear, but that’s not what we are). But when I hang out w my Hispanic friends, their houses, their families and even their lifestyle are similar to mine! So I understand the similarities, the only thing that bothers me is that Americans don’t care at all about geography and put all Latinos in the “Mexican Box” without caring about our culture. I’m Latina, I’m Brazilian, I speak Portuguese and I have my own Culture, just like the other countries in Latin America. We are different, yes, but when you go to another country, full of gringos, is amazing to feel that you belong in a group, make you feel confident and comfortable. And even tho we are not the same, we have things in common, and that’s good!

É incrível como as pessoas aceitam, tão conformadas, essa terminologia inventada pelos EUA, a qual é claramente racista. A localização geográfica não nos torna latinos, principalmente porque esse termo (que eles inventaram) na verdade não arremete a uma localização geográfica, mas sim à uma condição social. Só não enxerga que não quer. Basicamente o q eles queriam era classificar um grupo q englobasse todas as pessoas de pele mais escura e que falassem espanhol, principalmente por razões xenofóbicas. Não é a toa q muitos estadunidenses consideram filipinos como latinos, apesar do país estar localizado na Ásia. Aliás, o próprio termo "hispânico" só foi criado depois que o termo "latino" foi considerado visivelmente racista e pejorativo, sob o pressuposto de designar pessoas de "língua materna espanhola e de origem no continente americano". E adivinhem: segundo a classificação deles O BRASILEIRO É HISPÂNICO. Mesmo falando PORTUGUÊS, para eles o brasileiro é hispânico. Ou seja, eles não estão nem aí para a língua q vc fala, para a sua hereditariedade ou para qualquer outro aspecto da sua cultura. Eles só estão preocupados em classificar todos, exceto eles próprios e Canadá, como um grupo de pessoas morenas oriundas d outras partes do continente americano.

O termo "América Latina" foi cunhado por Napoleão Bonaparte no início do século XIX ao se referir aos países recém independentes no continente americano que possuíam uma tradição latina, ou seja, que falam as línguas latinas (português, espanhol e francês) derivadas do latim, idioma falado no Império Romano. Portanto, não é um termo racista, pelo contrário, esse termo traz uma certa importância ao considerar que a nossa cultura latina é descendente da cultura dos romanos.

[@marcelodesantis3341]

Matheus Leite Concordo contigo a respeito do plano de fundo da terminologia. Contudo, o que torna uma palavra racista não é a soma das letras contidas nela e sim a intenção de quem a diz. Eu me considero latino (sou descendente de espanhóis, portugueses e italianos), mas entendo que muitos brasileiros de tantas outras raízes não se considerem, simplesmente por não terem conexão com raízes latinas. Porém, se um estadunidense, ou quem quer que seja, me chamar de latino com desdém, eu arrebento a cara dele antes dele terminar a frase. E essa minha provável reação não tem nada a ver com a palavra em si, que é inofensiva e, dependendo do contexto, bem apropriada, mas sim com a intenção burra e alienada (muito comum nestes países que se acham the number one) de quem a disser.

Latino is any country with a latin derived language. So, Portugal and Spain, Italy and others in Europe can be considered LATINO. From this perspective, Brazil IS latino. But if you consider LATINO as the racial/stereotypical view created in USA, then only countries from LATIN AMERICA are LATINOS. BUT in this case, Brazil doesn't have similarities with that american view of what LATINO means, therefore they don't recognize themselves in that word. In conclusion, the answer to that question will the depend on what your perspective of LATINO means. edit1: but the correct perspective is the first one, obviously. edit2: latin america would only make sense culturally (and means the same thing-> the countries in the americas that derive from a romance culture/latin language.

Although the parents had a very strong Uruguayan accent, their 15 year-old son was practically Mexican; he spoke just like me. It was such a heart warming moment. Your experience also reminds me a bit of the few years I spent in the States. I lived in an almost exclusively white area and the very few other Mexican Americans or US born Latinos I knew didn't really speak Spanish (or wouldn't speak it), so I was adopted by the only group of immigrant kids in my school who all happened to be South Americans (mostly Chileans, Argentinians and Brazilians).

All of us who live in foreign lands and come from Latin America osea Brazil included identify as Latinos cause we get to understandand and realise the many things we have in common and share. From an Hispanic point of view it starts with the language. Also Spanish and Portuguese are way more similar languages than French and Spanish. It's like Scandinavian even if the languages are different Norwegians can more or less understand Swedish (depending on if they speak bokmål or Nynorsk) but that's for another debate.

[@LadyCrystallia]

Matheus Torres in our respective countries people tend to identify more as just Brazilian or Mexican or Colombian etc. I grew up in another country as a kid I didn't really realised that, but growing up going to school with other Latinos, I was in a class with Brazilians, Colombians, Venezuelan, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Cuban-Americans etc really made us realise how much we had in common. We would listen to the same Latin rock bands, Latin pop singers like Thalia or Shakira the same reggaetoneros. They were also Spaniards, Portuguese so you know we were our own little community and we shared a culture and identity despite being from several different countries. There was just some "rivalry" between the Europeans and us the Latino Americans(teenage shit) I was in an international school , there was an English section Italian and German. It was really a great human experience. As a teen that's when I really started to identify more as Latino. Basically a lot of Mexicans think I'm Mexican when I'm like mega rolo cause I was surrounded by Mexico, the music the culture, the friends. And I was accidentally almost miscarriaged and then saved in Cuba so yeah I owe my life to Cubans, both parents Colombian, I had a Salvadoran stepdad and a Cuban stepdad. Sooooo yeah I kinda don't identify as just Colombian. But more as Latino. And you know people who still live in the motherland say we're French (grew up in France) or wherever we got to grew up. But I feel like I had a richer experience and a more vivid sense of what it is to be Latino and never disconnected. And growing up in Europe never made me less Colombian/Latino. Honestly French don't consider Latino, the term is more associated with the Americas and French Canadian don't identify as Latino. It's really interesting. Cause what about Suriname or Belize or Caribbean islands where they speak Dutch or English. They're not Hispanic, they're not Latinos but they have a shit ton in common with other places nearby. So even if the term comes from languages derived from Latin it also englobes cultures that have similar roots located in the Americas.

I'm Latino and I'm very proud of my heritage AND my brothers from Latin America, even though we have different culture, history and etc. We all have the same basic problem: Some stupid people from other countries invaded us, killed a bunch of our people and called themselves "civilized" and "explorers" and other fancy excuses to kill us, rob us, rape us and enslave us.

[@Gabrielg2012]

The problem is that latino is a linguistic classification so italians, french, portuguese, spanish and romanians are also latinos. But people in the USA use latino as a "race" and "culture" term, so basically what happens is that if you say you are latino, they think you eat spicy food and dress like a mariachi while shouting "AY AY AY" which are just mexican stereotypes. So that's why me as a brazilian don't like that term, it doesn't represent us. Is just like saying that United States, Germany and Jamaica are all "germanic", and treat it like a culture and race, imagine that: Hitler, Adam Sandler and Bob Marley would be considered the same race and the same culture, does that make sense? And I don't want to be rude, but as a brazilian the only latin american countries that I think there is some similarities with us is Uruguay and Argentina (they are similar to southern brazilian culture) and some parts of northern brazil may share some cultural ties with Venezuela and Colombia, but the two most populated areas (Southeast and Northeast) in Brazil aren't connected to any latin american country, neither geographically nor culturally. So to the average brazilian, most latin american countries are just as distant culturally from us as USA and Canada are, we actually share more cultural similarities with Portugal (and Italy in some parts of Brazil) than with our neighbors. Even Brazil doesn't represent us very well, the culture that most people think as "brazilian" is just Rio de Janeiro city culture (samba, bossa nova, carnival with fantasies and big colored cars) that don't apply to most part of the country, the rest of the country have very different cultures. To foreigners understand imagine the US. It is a big country with a bunch of cultural differences between the states, now imagine the whole world only knew New Orleans and thought of your entire country as a big New Orleans, that's what happens to Brazil. So we are already too misrepresented worldwide as brazilians, being classified as latino just make it worse.

[@gustavoa.belfiore4701]

Exactly! I understand that Latin Americans in the US feel like they need to re-appropriate the term and use it with a positive connotation, but the problem is that it just doesn't make any sense outside the US. So the rest of the Latin American community in the entire world end up discussing a term that white US people invented because the insist on calling themselves "Americans". So yeah, I refuse to identify with a name that has such huge imperialistic connotations attached to it, and to a lot of people that ends up sounding like I'm not proud of my Latin American identity or something. :'(

[@Gabrielg2012]

Americans have pretty weird racial vision in general. They don't consider Jews white. and I've seen some americans saying that portuguese, spaniards and italians aren't white also. In USA I would never be considered white even though I look caucasian with light skin and blond hair. but I have some native brazilian blood in me. so maybe I would be considered native even though I'm mostly of european descent. Americans are very very confused about races.

[@steeph100910]

So you basically want the word to see the white side of Brazil? Because you do not like foreigners think as Brazilian culture carnival or bossanova, you prefer foreings see the similarities Brazil has with Europe because "White is better". Even thought you are White (or white passing) that is just very sad, you have some inner racism going on. Hope you work on that.

[@Gabrielg2012]

I'm not saying european culture is better, I'm just saying that what the world perceive as being typical brazilian is actually the culture of a specific region of Brazil. There's a bunch of regions in Brazil with strong amerindian and african culture, but most foreigners have never heard or seen these places, North Brazil for example has a lot of native tradition and Bahia has the strongest African culture in Brazil and I would say in all of the American continent, but very few foreigners know that because they are too focused on Rio. I was born in a region dominated by caipira culture, which is a result of native brazilian and portuguese culture, here the traditional music is sertanejo raiz, which contains elements of portuguese music like acordeon and guitar, and the lyrics talk about the life of the caipira most of the time, which lived in the countryside. Where I'm currently living it is also part of the caipira culture but here there is also some African influenced practices like the congadas, which is a catholic religious feast where people plays drums and most of the players are blacks. And also Bossa Nova is a typically upper class white people music here in Brazil, the great majority of worker class brazilians don't care about bossa nova, and samba is typically most appreciated in Rio and São Paulo city, they play samba at bars there, but the rest of Brazil don't care that much about samba, in the north, northeast, central-west, large parts of southeast and south, you will hardly find samba being played, each region here has its own typical musical genres and dances. My intention was not to diminish African influence in Brazil, I only wanted to show that Brazil is much more than Rio. Also I forgot to mention that carnival has european origin.

[@marcerieti_exo-l]

Mary from the Rosary no offense, but I don't think Brazil is the only example of diversity... I mean, in Mexico we don't play mariachi or cumbia all the time, most of the people prefer pop, rock or ballads. And I think that for every country the foreigners focus in the cliches to make a culture different from the others... But I got it, I don't consider myself as "Latina" either, even though I'm not white, I find that classification simplistic and stupid, I prefer to be called mestiza if you're talking about race, or Mexican if you're considering the culture... But technically we all share the same language tree, so we all are Latin people including Latin European and Latin Americans. In any case I prefer the term "Latin" or "Latin American", what for me is more accurate and less stereotyped.

The meaning of "latino" is one of the most confusing things in the world. People say it has nothing to do with the ethnicity, but with the origin of the spoken language: we are Latin because we speak portuguese ... But Angolans also speak portuguese. People born in Angola are Latin? And the people who are born in Jamaica and speak English, or in Suriname and speak Dutch, are what? Besides, nobody calls canadians, americans, english and australians Anglo-Saxons... Then they say that "latinos" are those who live in South and Central America... Well, if that were the case, why would North Americans call the descendants of "Latinos" that are born and live there Latinos as well? And if we consider the history of the countries, it complicates the matter even more. Each "Latin America" country had different stories, some with drastically different details from others. "Latinos" is a term that causes more confusion than organization. I would suggest we abandon it completely.

Essas cidades do EUA que você mencionou tem línguas latinas como segunda língua.Só isso já é o suficiente pra provar que os EUA não faz parte dessa dominação porque tem que ter uma língua proviniente do latim como língua oficial para ser considerado latino,e não como segunda língua.Esses "costumes" não tornam um país latino porque como já disse essa denominação está direcionada a língua e não à uma raça. Essa confusão toda foi causada por esse esteriótipo dos EUA que dizem que latino é uma raça,quando naverdade se trata de uma denominação para as pessoas que falam línguas provinientes do latim.Acontece que os EUA acabam influenciando outros países e por conta disso portugueses,franceses e italianos não se consideram latinos até porque muitos não tem interesse em saber então acaba ficando por isso mesmo.E nós brasileiros acabamos fazendo a mesma coisa.Esse esteriótipo é tão grande que muitos hispânicos acabam acreditando no mesmo oque contribui mais uma vez para os latinos da europa(eu sei que é um pouco esquisito falar isso mas é assim que se fala) não se considerarem latinos.

« Latino » originally means « latin ». which is terms refers to Romance-speaking countries, whatever they are in Europe or in the Americas. This is why this part of Americas where Romances languages are spoken is called « latin America ». Like the part of America which speaks english is called anglo-America, or like the part of Europe where romance languages are spoken is called « latin Europe », or « Europa latina » in spanish... es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_latina So, obviously Brazil, as a Portuguese speaking country located in the America is part of latin-america area and as such its inhabitants are latin-americans or latinoamericanos. Also, as Brazil is a country that spokes a latin (you call them « romance » in english but us, we do call our languages the « latin languages »). As romance speakers, Brazilians are obviously latins (or latinos in Spanish and Portuguese, latini in Italian, etc.), like I am as a french person. Now, there is the distorted meaning that Americans have done with the word « latino », changing its original meaning of « latin » (like is the expression « latin lover » which was a reference to Italian, french and spanish actors of the 20´s) to a very different meaning, much more restrictive. It has became from the USA of the last decades as a way to denote speanish speaking mixed indigenous/southern European peoples (mestizos) from the tropical areas of the America only... as such excluding Europeans latins (even Italians, the original latins), excluding, speakers of latin languages other than spanish, whatever they are in the Americas or in Europe (Haiti, Québec, Brazil)... and sometimes even excluding the people from spanish speaking countries of the Americas that are too much European-descent, that do not have enough indegenous looks and features... this is absolutely nonsense, since the word « latin/latino » had become to mean having partly or fully indegenous American roots for many people... while actually, racially speaking the most « latin » people of the Americas are the People who descend from Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, french, etc... and not the people who descend from the Aztec and Mayas, who were from a totally different non-latin culture. I have seen so many time in American videos, movies, spread the idea that « latino » was supposed to be linked with a native American heritage... we see some « latin/latino » cultural associations speaking about latin culture, and in the same time showing pictures of Mexicans corn-based foods (mostly of native American descent), showing traditional native artworks and pictures of the chichen itza pyramids are the reference of pride in « latin/latin culture ».... while this is latin culture : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_culture es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultura_latina Progressively, this distorted meaning was progressively push on the whole planet thank to US based medias, movies, pop culture... to the point that in the latin/latino countries that do not fit the nowadays modern definition that the US give to the words « latin/latino », there exist two opposite attitudes : either : - the people that accept fully the new American definition. As such, like your Brazilian friends, they reject being labelled as latin/latino, explaining that they are not mestizos, that they speak another romance language than spanish, that they are not from a tropical country, that they do not eat spicy foods, or that they do not live in the Americas... all these things that actually have nothing to see with the concept of latinity. -the people what stubbornly stuck to the original meaning of the word. The people who do not want that an important part of their cultural identity would be erase from them simply because the Amercan sensus bureau, Samuel Huttington or the US medias have decided as such. The people who think that our latinity is what makes us different and having a different approach to life from the germanic/protestant cultures of northern Europe (from which the US is a cultural offspring). I am one of these people who would continue to identificate with my latin-based culture and be proud of that, even if I would have to face total misunderstanding with most people of the Americas who have adopted the American concept and think it has always been as such...

I consider myself Latina, because I love our Latin family ❤️❤️ Abraços amigos

Você não é

[@joureify]

-You are latin because you are from Latin America. -Ok. -You are Latin because you speak Spanish. -WAR DECLARED! I have a question: If we are Latin because we speak romantic languages, why don't have a "Latin Europe", "Latin Africa" and why the French speakers from Canada aren't Latin?

[@MarioRodriguez-gr8wc]

Artur Lima there actually is a Latin Europe. But Europeans don’t care too much for it. However, speaking as a Hispanic I think that we took the word Latino and ran with it. Now we are proud of the called Latinos. Even if we are from different countries the majority of us are listening to the same music, and eating more or less the same food. We are all proud of each other’s success, even if they are not from our country. If one Latino does something good or bad it reflects on the entire community.

[@msmreviews8408]

I am Latin European and we do consider ourselves Latin European, just not Latin American. Latin Europeans are: French, Italian, Romanian, Spaniards and Portuguese. We all speak different languages.

[@diegouzeda2491]

Joanna, it is indeed complicated.The term "Latino" is more like an American statistic/ demographic term that loosely means Latin American, but not really. In demographic/statistical terms, American confuse the concept of Race/Ethnicity with origin/country. This is what makes the thing confusing.... For example: Uruguay and Argentina are the countries with the most whites in all of the Americas. So does that make them Latinos or Whites in the American Census concept? You tell me. As for us Brazilians, we may draw parallel with the Russians, who don´t consider themselves neither Europe nor Asia. It´s kind of the same thing here in Brazil, we may not have a strong Latin American identity, specially because we are the only Portuguese speaking country in the Region and although we share a somewhat similar background with other South American neighbours, distances are so great that the majority of the population doesnt have much contact with the Spanish language...

[@florome]

as a uruguayan you have no idea how confusing that is oh my god i call myself both white and latina whenever it suits the conversation best thank god i dont live in the usa because i would go insane

[@walabixha1746]

florome well it doesn't have to be that confusing, I'm Colombian but I'm like pale as a sheet of paper. So I just say I'm white and Latino because Latino is not a race. After all. Every culture that comes from the roman empire is a Latino culture.

[@dreamcore]

Walabix Ha! Latin culture. Latino is just a made-up political word in USA to refer to peoples from the Americas

[@indiatate]

Are Jamaicans latinos then?

[@MarciaMancuso]

Diego Uzeda bravo!!!!

[@sonospiacente3334]

talvez isso seja uma discussão que também se incluí raça... O povo dos paises hispanicos são geralmente diferente dos brasileiros pois nós temos uma raça única "pardo", geralmente povos que são misturados entre os europeus q vieram ao brasil com os nativos-brasileiros e/ou negros escravos, e nessa parte os nativo-brasileiros e a maioria dos europeus não estavam nesses países hispanicos para que os povos se misturassem e criassem essa nova "raça", e portanto, tem raízes raciais diferentes, que juntamente com a barreira do idioma e do maior reconhecimento dos outros países faz com que os brasileiros se sintam um povo diferente dos "latinos". Só falando...

[@joaorafaeloliveira1781]

Most brazilian major cities are located at the coastal area, far away from our spanish speaking neighboors. That is one of the main reasons that we feel so isolated culturally. However, if you go to South region of Brazil, there is a lot of similarities with Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Also, if you go to the North, we are closer related to our neighboors too, like the Colombians. However, the language barrier is still present, also culture, specially music. "Latin" music and Brazilian music holds a lot of differences, for example.

[@MarckAl]

I'm Brazilian and I'm proud to be Latino.

[@caiom3378]

Exactly!

[@tanyushatanyzinha1282]

+Diego Guillermo Schmidt Yeah, for sure. I consider myself a "real" latina but there's many brazilians that are not even "fakes" latinos. So yes, we speak a latim language but could you consider all of us a real latinos? 😞

[@davibessa5628]

Eu sou brasileiro e me considero latino(ainda não vi o vídeo, só queria comentar). I'm brazilian and I consider myself a Latino(I haven't yet seen the video, I just wanted to comment).

[@yesicamerino6507]

Davi Bessa i could understand that without the translation, I'm not even Brazilian. Just Mexican-American. Not bragging, just find it cool that languages do this sort of crossover.

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

as a Chicana who knows some spanish, i can understand some Portuguese to! Welcome to the club Meu Brasilerio! Como se Ta????? :)

[@davibessa5628]

Yesica Merino nice! I don't know how to speak Spanish, but I understand it too. The similarities between both languages are uncountable.

[@itz_aplatano1936]

We are all Latinos my brother! I'm from the Dominican Republic and I feel love for all my Latin American brothers and sisters. We shouldn't see ourselves as different because we are united by history, current struggles, and have so many similar cultural components. Our borders were created by Europeans to divide us and keep us weak. We must break free from that and look for ways to make living conditions in our region much better for all.

[@SSVjoker]

Davi Bessa funny how I don't speak Portuguese, but speak a little Gallego, and understood the whole comment

[@latitude23S]

Well described. Formally Brazilians are latino americans. But we prefer luso americans or simply brazilians. 'cause we don't like to mix with hispanics we're ashamed when someone related us to them. We know that hispanics would like to get Brazilians as latinos, but sorry, we will go without this curse

[@lucaslima-il6nx]

Isso foi extremamente xenofóbico

[@ArcticSeraph]

I think Italy is more Latino than Portugal and Spain. People from Latin America are mostly Hispanic because their bloodlines are from Spain. But when it comes to Brazil, I'm not so sure because their bloodlines are from Portugal. But having said that the majority or Latin America are natives that were influenced from Spain and Portugal. It's all so confusing.
