I’ve only ever heard “Latinas/os” refer to themselves as that with each other. And it’s usually some generalization like “oh, you know how we latinas love XYZ”.Does anyone who is “Latino/a” even use that term. Most people I know prefer to refer to themselves from the country of origin. I’m of Mexican descent so in my family we say we’re Mexican American. Same thing with my Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban friends. So she doesn’t even know what she’s saying or asking for when she says all Latino men are welcome. Just another example of her idiocy and ignorance.
also, tbag, what’s your classification of “Latin” people? Hispanic? Brazilian? What about Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French? Bcos if we’re going off of “Latin based languages” then those last 5 should def count! BUT knowing Tracy, she means “brown” people so prob Hispanic and Brazilian, maybe Spaniard as well.
I know I’m leaving out a bunch of people like Haitians, Angolians, and all others from countries that speak Latin based languages, but for brevity’s sake I only named a few.
