Calling them Asian Latinos is self-contradictory. They are Asian Brazilians, Asian French Guianese, Asian Peruvians, Asian Mexicans, Asian Central Americans, Asian South Americans, etc. The USA has a habit of calling anyone from a Spanish-speaking country Latino, regardless of their ethnic or racial background.

Okay, I have relatives living in French Guyana. Are they now latinos? some of the kids speak Portuguese and mixed with them Creole and Indigenous people there.
Personally, I don't understand what it means to be Latinos. If by speaking a latin roman language makes you latino, then I'm confused.

Asian Latinos.

Do you have any unmixed relatives born in French Guiana?
