@THE ANGRY Yes, latinos are people whose mothertongue is a latin-based language... But this is not commonly used "as this". The "Latino" thing started in the 80's (i don't remember the date, i might be wrong) in the USA because they did a population census and segmented people according to their ethnicity so they simplified all the "latin-american" descendants by a group called "LATINOS", this term got popularized all over the years by the massmedia. Therefore, this term is correct (specially in the USA but we can argue on that). However, the best "word" should be "LATIN-AMERICANS" which differs from the "LATIN-EUROPEANS"... and latinamericans involve hispanics, brazilians and french speaking countries in the Caribe.

Wife’s name is Judi and I guess the handwriting of one of the baristas was bad and she thought it said Juan. She called out Juan and looked straight at me and repeatedly called out Juan, like I didn’t understand. The girl who wrote said sorry that’s supposed to be Judi. White girl turned a deep shade of red and apologized. Needless to say this is a legit stereotype. FYI, no my name is not Juan.

One thing: continents are taught differently in different countries. In the US it's north and south America, in Latin America it's The Americas. Yo entiendo porque nos ponemos defensivos cuando refieran a los estadosunidienses como Americanos, pero si lo piensas, todos los paises tienen nombres "Venezuela, El Salvador, Mexico..." pero los Estados Unidos is just that: "The United States of America" with the word America. Es mas facil decir "American" que "United Statsian" or something. We're all American, that's true, but it's just easier to call people from the US Americans. Many other languages also don't have a name for "estadosunidiense" like in Spanish, so people just go for American.

Isabella Marie Languages that accept the use of American: English, French, Italian, Russian, (Spanish, Portuguese?). It’s American, done and good.

[@coyotelong4349]

Miriam Martínez As a person from the USA, I have to say that it’s the rest of the world’s fault that people from this country are called “Americans”. Because that’s what the rest of the world calls us, so it’s what we call ourselves.

[@zarius6363]

Let me ask you this, what do you call Germany in spanish? You call it "Alemania", right? Why not GERMANY? Better yet, why not DEUTSCHLAND, which is what Germans call it? OMG the Germans must be offended that you don't call their country Deutschland!!! You see how stupid your logic is? In English (and many other languages too) calling the USA simply "America" is perfectly accepted. In Spanish it's America, the continent. In English it's North America and South America the continents, and America the country. End of story. There is no problem here.

Somos as vezes excluídos das "rodinhas". Único país de fala português na América do Sul. Alguns não nos consideram latinos porque acham que é só quem fala espanhol. Outros acham que falamos espanhol porque estamos rodeados de países que falam haha.

Caribbean countries + Brasil dance stereotype: ( Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, def yes)... other countries, not really, but they can drink and party nonetheless. Also within countries ej: Gaucho vs baiano ( afrolatino) or andean colombians vs afroclombians/caribbean colombians.

The most annoying stereotype is if you're Hispanic you must be Mexican . . . . I mean I am but still you didn't know that 😂

[@armolina789]

I think it's because Mexico is on the border with US. Mexico gets more attention due to that, that's probably why the associate Hispanics with Mexicans.

One thing people need to understand is that the distance from north to south in Latin America is similar to Ireland and East Asia, for sure there's a lot of cultural similarities, but also the ethnic composition of each area is quite different.

If I had to define Latin America with one word thst word would be diversity. We come from all corners of the world. There are Latinos from Asian, European, African, Middle Eastern, background. We Latins come in all sizes, heights and colors. And because we are SO diverse stereotypes will always be inaccurate.

Like this video! I always appreciate your willingness to tackle what most people feel hesitant to talk about. For my part, I had a Mexican girlfriend and yes, she told me quite assertively that Mexican women do not put up with any talk about other women. Her male friend also chimed in to support her on this. And yes, Latinos *do* know how to dance and they do *not* need to learn the dance steps since they just somehow know how to wing it.
