I was using 'Latino' to refer to people associated with Latin America or Latin base speaking European nations which is how many people define 'Latino'. But after re-reading your (Marllon) first and second post in this thread, you define it differently. You define it as someone with significant ancestry from a Latin base speaking European nation - someone who looks like a castizo or criollo. And that's why you instead prefer the nationality terms such as Asian-Brazilian or Asian-Uruguayan or Asian-Mexican. Okay that makes sense
if we go by your definition
. I understand where you are coming from now - that Latino is a colonial term, and according to you it should not be used for everyone in Latin America. Okay, I won't argue with you too much on that. I understand that the term 'Latino' may (to some people) unfairly rob a person of their other heritage whether it be Amerindian, African, Asian, or even other European/Caucasian heritages such as Polish, Lebanese, or Indian.
