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: Hey, where are you from?
Me: I'm Latina. My family comes from Spain, Sicily, Italy-
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 lainchan mug.LAMing (LAME ING) ~ verb. LAM standing for"Look At Me". Often perpetrated by attention seekers on social networks in the form of short stories or what they're doing this minute to attract attention from various people. Serves as a pun since all "LAMing" posts are by definition, lame. LAMing often causes douchechills... beware.
All Martin does is make LAMing posts about how great he feels, or who he hung out with, or how his work week went, as if we give a shit. It's all for his ex to look at on Facebook in order to try and make her jealous. It sickens me.
