in the modern world, where not many people speak Latin, this is a term of distinction and endearment for individuals who do indeed speak Latin.

person 1: Peter, since you are a Latinist, please tell me, what this phrase Alieni Ite Domum means? Is it racism?
Peter: no, lol, you espèce d'ìnculte. What your phrase means is "strangers go home". I can't define it as either racist or not racist, until someone defines for me the ubiquitous term "racist"

Get the Latina mug.A person born in Latin America, or that has heritage in Latin America. Latin America includes South America, Central America, and the 3 Hispanic-Caribbean Islands: Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic. ONLY people from Latin America are Latinos. Spaniards, Italians, and Portugues are NOT latino whatsoever. their languages are latin-derived, but they are not part of latin america, therefore, they are not latinos. the word Latino does NOT mean descendent of the latins from the roman empire; it literally means people from Latin America.
Latinos can be of any race and skin color. There are black latinos, white latinos, and indigenous latinos. There are also many mixed-raced latinos (mestizos, mulattos, afro-mestizos). many latinos descend from the African slaves brought to Latin America, the Spanish conquistadores, and/or the Indigenous peoples. many people of many different races have immigrated to Latin America throughout history; they too are Latinos. ex: Shakira is of Lebanese descent, but her family immigrated to Colombia, where she was born. she is an Arab Latina.
