That too. Latino is a cultural and ethnic identifier. It’s not a race.

Racially, I’m white. I’ve had people ask me over the years if I’m Italian or Greek, just based on my looks. They’re often shocked to find out I’m Mexican-American, and that I identify as Latina. They’ve got a picture in mind of what a Mexican looks like, and it’s not me.

Ricardo Montalban?
Anthony Quinn?
Cheech Marin?
