What is the true definition of "Latino"?

Totally agree. Latins are europeans (spaniards, italians, portuguese, romanians, frenchs) and Latinamericans are (brazilians, mexicans, chileans, argentinians)...why? cause they have a blood link.

I rather think that's the heart of the debate: it is merely a linguistic term, or is it also cultural? Clearly, sudacas are not a united ethnicity or race, but comprise of many ethnicities and several racial mixes. Latino seems, to me at least, to only accurately describe a minority of sudacas, namely those of majority European heritage and observing European cultural mores.
