Everyone in Latin America speaks a Latin-based language. At the same time, all of these languages are based in europe, so the definition of Latino extends to French, Italians, Spaniards and Portuguese as well. Essentially, anybody who speaks a Romance language as a first language or mother tongue and lives in a country that is heavily influenced by the culture of the former Roman Empire (former colonies of france, spain, portugal, etc) is a latino.

They STOLE it. Latinos is a casual form of saying people who speak Spanish of some type. Latin is different from Spanish by a landslide Frankly, it’s not called Latin-America, because it doesn’t BELONG to America. They STOLE it.

France, Italy and Spain are all Latin based languages, but I think you would be hard pressed to tell a French person they are Latino. On top of that people from Spain do not like being called Latino where people from Central and South America strongly dislike being called Hispanic meaning Spanish. So I guess you could get all technical and be like yeah but Latinos are not originally from South America, but in a real world context, where we all live, Latino means someone from Central or South America.
