True. “Latino” is not actually a race — though it is constantly and ridiculously affirmed as such by most people and even government policy (for example “Hispanic” is a category of racial classification in the US Census).

But “white” is not a race either. Everyone from Icelanders to Arabs to Hungarians to Moroccans to Kazaks to Ainu count as “white”, and it’s not a valid ethnic nor cultural category.

I’m just referring to the underlying assumptions beneath her statement, that “Latino” is somehow a different ethnic category unto itself (even if that assumption is biologically suspect).
