There is a lot of confusion around this word so let's break it down.
1) A lot of sources well tell you a Latino is someone who is a native speaker of a Romance language. But no ones uses this word this way. You'll just look foolish doing it. You would be better off saying "Romance peoples" or "Romance speakers".
2) More narrowly it can mean anyone from Latin America, hence White and Black "Latinos". But you would better off just called them "Latin Americans".
3) The most common sense however is a racial group, or set of related ethno-racial groups found throughout Latin America which (and I was surprised to find this out) are all mixed race between white and Amerindians. The less ambiguous name for them is "Mestizo". Really, they're the same.

A puerto rican dude yells out: I'm Latino..................................................................................................! Then some Mexicans come into the room, and they talk shit. Then somebody of the two groups gets shot, because of their subdivided, subdivided ethic pride. This happens every saturday in at least one night club somewhere.
Latino is also the claim of some of the nicest, roundest asses for the best fucking. Latino pride from woman often causes them to turn around, and shake their ass. I'm dieing to fuck a variety of latino girls in the ass.

Get the latino mug.Latino is a broadly misused term, that actually just means " spoken Spanish since birth", not just a person of Hispanic origins. A Mexican man can be Hispanic, but not Latino. Likewise, a person from the United States can be Latino, but not Hispanic.Many Chicanos are not Latinos.
