A modified version of 69 in south America with the addition of hot sauce (other alternatives possible depending on desired pain level)

An American (or Canadian) of Latino descent, mainly Mexican. This refers to Latinos who base their entire identity around Mexican "culture" that was developed through American TV shows, movies, music, pop culture and slang. Most of them are unlikely to speak Spanish and will often use programs like Google Translate to communicate with native-born Latin Americans.
Similar to Plastic Irish, they've never visited the home country their ethnic origins originated from and merely just identify with a flanderized/glammorized version of their parents or grandparents culture. Plastic Latinos mainly draw their influence from Black and Native activist groups, those that originated in the latter half of the 20th century. Most of them believe in the La Raza ideology which pushes to reunite the Southwestern US with Mexico and in some cases, the Midwest, Rockies and British Columbia as well.
Plastic Latinos can be found commonly in Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey and more recently in states like Idaho and Utah. They also exist in major cities too like in Chicago or NYC.

Plastic Latino: Go back to your home country mang, Mexico ain't for no Gringos!
Other person: You were born and raised in Chicago though

Nowadays, the term Latino is used to describe somebody who originates from a Spanish-speaking country in Latino America.
Some things to take note about Latinos is that ANYONE can be Latino regardless of race, because Latino is an emphasizer of ethnicity. From a pale-skinned ginger from Mexico to a dark-skinned curlyhead from Puerto Rico, we are all Latinos whose land was colonized by the Spaniards.
(Except for the Guianas and Brazil because they were colonized by the Portuguese and British. As a result, they’re associated with South America, but not LATINO America)
Second note, no, Spaniards are not Latino. They are Hispanic because they’re also a Spanish-speaking country, but they are not Latino—they’re Europeans.
Third note, no, the French and the Italians and whoever else is European with Latin roots—they’re not Latino either! They are Latin, yes, but that is a separate term and they do not originate from Latino America. (Nor do they speak Spanish.)
Aaand that sums up a Latino.

Girl 1: “So, like… what are you?”
Girl 2: “Oh, I’m a Latino! I was born in El Salvador.”
Girl 1: “Oh? I thought you were White?”
Girl 2: “Well… that too. That makes me a White Latina.”
Girl 1: “Oh.”

argentinia
venezuela
colombia
peru
ecuador
paraguay
uruguay
chile
puerto rico
cuba
