Reply to comment by camaradafrank in [OC] The GDP of US Latinos is greater than Brazil’s and Mexico’s combined. by latinometrics

There’s a government categorization by ethnicity used by the us government agencies which usually consists of white (mostly European), African American, Native American and Hispanics. You can be a latino even if your grandparents came from Mexico half century ago

You can cry and be offended by that’s the official categorization done by the us federal agencies, which is replicated at state/city levels

So you are officially racist, not a shock to anyone with a bit of self determination . USA laws do not rule the entire American continent, this term was conjured in the US, this was never a convention between countries of South America and Central America. You might think that the USA’s influence is omnipotent, but it is not.
