Latin have everything to do with the latin languages as well, from which Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian are derived.

Perhaps someone have to tell you that several places don't consider every single non-black/asian/red skin a caucasian as you don't seem to know it.

There are more active languages derived from Vulgar (common) Latin than just those - not the point - as I said, calling those folks Latin here would be very American (as a continent) thing to do.

But, please, do go on...(popcorn ready, 3D glasees on)...who knows, maybe I'll get to explain to you differences between indigenous people of South America as well.

We here in Germany definitely use the word Latino for Southern European descendants, be it from Italy, Spain or Middle and South America.

That said...does anybody else think this thread has developed in a strange direction and needs to die?
