*sigh* I don't see how anybody could categorize a look for Latinos(latinas). That is because there isn't one. There are White Latins from Europe(Spanish,French Italian, Portuguese, anybody who speaks or ancestors spoke a romance language), Natives of the Americas which are also called Amerindians, and former slaves brought over from Africa, as well as mixtures of all of these and even some small amounts of other ancestries from the Middle East and Asia. All of these fit into the group that you guys are labeling as "Latinas". I could see if you said Southern European(since that is where Latin originated), or even Mixed(since many in the Americas are mixed), but it doesn't make sense, because they aren't all one group.

I have never heard the term used this widely before and I have only heard it used with reference to Spanish speaking people living in the Americas.  Would all of these people really identify themselves as Latina/Latino?

OT: Japanese women can be very beautiful, Chinese girls more so.

In Europe this is the case. Latin is the root of all of these languages as well as Spanish. Hispanic is the word that only refers to people from Hispania(Word used by Romans), or the Iberian Peninsula as it is called today. Actually the name of Spain, Espana, comes from Hispania, but as the language progressed from Vulgar Latin it changed to the spelling of Espana.

 

Edit: Btw, I myself, am of Spanish and French ancestry(as well as german and english).
