Since most people seem to not understand what Latina is, I will say this as an exasperated woman of Latin heritage myself.
"Latina" is a woman who is of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, South American or Caribbean descent. No, it is not exclusively used for women that come from Latin America.
No, we don't all sing Despacito and twerk 90% of the time. I am Latina and I hate the song, we aren't all trashy, we aren't you cleaning ladies, and we aren't the white persons costume. Stop butchering beautiful Latin languages, and stop telling some of us that we don't "look" Latina enough. We aren't all brown-skinned, we aren't all black-haired, and we don't only come from the Caribbean.
I have curly dark hair, I am olive-skinned and tan, and I am Italian. Italian and Portuguese women are also Latinas, deal with it.

Idiot: OMG u arnt LaTINa!!!! theY oNLy come fROM CArIBbEaN.
Me: Latin originated in Italy...and spread through Spain and Portugal. "Latino" and "Latina" are just Spanish words for Latin. Besides, Italy colonized some of South America as well, and aren't they Latina/Latino?
Please stop misusing the word Latina or Latino

Get the latino mug.The oldest, most prestigious, most incredible private school in Baltimore. Despite being the smallest we produce the most Division I lacrosse players of any other school. Our football team beats St. Pauls whenever they want, and our lacrosse team crushes Gilman no matter how much money those Gayhounds spend on their lax twigs.
No where else will students graduate and then head to The Crease with their English teacher just to down a long neck. No where else will students go out on SAT night, or blackout on exam weekend.
Either we like the teachers, or we treat them like shit. There's no in-between. We make joke announcements in assembly, and we trample the senior speakers just to piss of Billy. They try to push out Mr. Bowling (BINGUS) but we don't let them.
We party hard, and work easy. We can hang out with anyone, and we never keep the same girls for more than a month. Our beverage of choice is Natty Light, but we like to get into trubble every now and then. Don't be jealous if you can't keep up because no one ever can... except us BL kids.
