Latino relates to country of origin not ethnicity.

There are many colonies of Europeans in Latin America that are mostly endogamic and they would be considered Latino too.

Country of origin can be an ethnicity. Ethnicity isn't race.

So an endogamic Mennonite living in Latin America is the same ethnicity as a tribe member from the Amazon? Makes a lot of sense. Good job, sociologists.
