That wasn't my point. Plus, American isn't a self-contradictory terminology like Latino in the Pan-American sense. The whole world understands American within same context. Whereas there are differing views on labels like Latino. In Latin Europe, they do not consider most inhabitants from "Latin America" as Latinos. They only view ethnic Latin Europeans as Latinos.

That's not exactly true if you take into account that it would be the French the ones to invent the term "Latin American" during their brief adventure in Mexico.
