Are Latinos considered Latinos?

Are Italians considered Latinos? No. Why would they be? Their heritage is not from the same country.

They are the original Latin people
the French are Latin too,as well as the Spaniards,the Portugese,the Romanians...
Latin Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Totally Screwed

I would not use Wikipedia as a bonified source of information. It is written and edited by amateurs so the information is usually a little biased. I totally disagree with your opinion that the French are considered Latino. Absolutely NOT!

Latino as used today in the US have nothing to do with people in Europe.
And also Wikipedia is of no real value, one can add or change things in there if they want, Heck they even list me as a major Church leader in my faith

Totally Screwed

Exactly my point. I also agree with you that the term Latino has lost it's original meaning in the United States. It is used to describe the true Latinos but also hispanics etc.

pardon me
i did not know that there was a difference between ''latino'' and ''latin''
i thought they meant the same thing
i'm not from the US,i'm European
and that's what they taught me in school,that the French,Portugese,Spaniards,Romanians are of Latin descend.the Italians were Latins,but then the Roman Empire conquered the lands and so the languages and cultures mixed-latinisation-/romanization-there the descend
and judging by the fact that America was discovered by the Europeans and most of the countries in South America were European colonies..i did not see a difference between Latin and Latino if by 'Latino' you mean Mexican sor Argetines(Spanish descend),then no,Italians are not Latinos
