Latinos
Latinos are people whose origins trace back to Latin America, including countries in Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. The term encompasses diverse cultures, languages (mostly Spanish and Portuguese), and histories. Latinos can be of any race and often share cultural traditions, values, and a sense of community rooted in their Latin American heritage. In the United States, "Latino" is used to describe this broad group for demographic and cultural identification, highlighting shared origins while recognizing individual and regional differences.
