Latingo

He who is both Latino and Gringo. (She who is both Latina and Gringa would be a Latinga.)
David was born and raised in the States but married an Argentinean. He's incorporated so much of her culture — though he's still a whitey — that he's become such a Latingo.

Litigo

An overly litigious scumbag often part of an incestual mother/son relationship. Litigos are known for their behaviors that annoy everyone; are often prone to violent outbursts targeting the elderly and other vulnerable groups; its not beneath litigos to fake their race in an effort to purloin social or welfare benefits.
Denise, "Did you hear, that pair of litigos Jon & Miriam Yaniv have added a third to their love son/mother copulating?".

Tammy, "No way! Are you serious??".

Denise, "Ya, they picked up Rabbi Sidney Friedman. They get naked, cover each other in peanut oil and roll around together until Sidney starts tag teaming Jon & Miriam. He goes back and forth between Jon's pus pocket and Miriam's sloppy dumper."

Tammy, "Wow....that's messed up!".

latino

A confusing term created by confused people who think you can classify a race by a language. Residents of "latin" American countries refer to themselves as latino because of their descendants from Spain. Little do they realize that most of said countries had next to zero interbreeding with Spaniards and a vast majority of those who refer to themselves as latin have zero Spanish blood. Countries and people who should obviously not be called latino are somehow lumped under this category simply because they speak Spanish. Blacks born in the Dominican Republic are somehow latino, as are white europeans from Spain. Blacks and Spaniards racially and ethnically have NOTHING in common with residents of the Latin Americas but call themselves the same race. Somehow, under this theory, a Spaniard is latin, but an Italian is not, despite the fact that pretty much everything Latin really came from Rome.

Latino is an overly vague, catch-all term and a misnomer that attributes a culture to people that don't belong to it, at the same time depriving one of their actual heritage. A Mexican is a Mexican. A Spaniard is a Spaniard. A Puerto Rican is a Puerto Rican.
(what goes through a Spaniard's mind when filling out a form...)

Manuel: Hmmm, race? What to choose, what to choose... well, I AM white, so I should probably choose caucasian... Wait, never mind! I speak Spanish! Therefore, THIS is my race! (checks the "latino" box)
-----------------------
(example of the obvious flaws in using the term "latin" to describe a Spanish-speaking person)

Cesar: I'm from Mexico and I have REAL latin culture, something whites could only dream of.

Antonio: Well, I'm Italian, I'm white, and I ACTUALLY come from REAL latins. You know, the ones who lived in Europe, not Central America. Your ancestors come from Native Indians.

Cesar: (goes ballistic and calls Antonio a racist gringo)

Afro-Latino

A man from or with roots from any spanish speaking country with both black (African) and spanish ancestry. Sometimes referred to as a blatino or a blaxican (depending on the spanish country of origin). As with an afro-latina, afro-latino's have the best of both worlds. They are sexy, passionate, make great lovers and ladies, if you are ever lucky enough to catch one, you'll find there's nothing better than a brotha who speaks Spanish. They come in many flavors, cafe (Merlin Santana), cafe con leche (Tego Calderon), caramel (Maxwell)and leche.
At times, the Afro-Latino may become very frustrated, because the latino community (which he loves)doesn't recognize him and shows racism. Afro-Latinos take this in stride and continue being the lovers that they are.
Ayyyy, Tego Calderon is fine, I gotta get me an afro-latino como el!

Girl #1:Gurl, I didn't know that brotha spoke Spanish?
Girl#2:Yeah, gurl, he's afro-latino!
