Latinos are really Italians who spoke Latin in the old days. Mexicans speak Spanish.were colonized by Spain.?

So do all of Central & South America. Why is our nationality being ignored for this generic nonsense?. It’s the Chinese, the Americans, the French, the Italians, the Spaniards, the English, the Germans, etc. We’re Mexicans, Panamanians, Colombians, Cubans — we are Hispanic because we speak Spanish. We are not Italians, we are not Latins, we don’t speak Latin.
