Some Mexican nationalist type t-shirt I saw on a dude in a pancake house once informed that "Latino" was someone if Italian descent (trying to clarify that Mexicans should identify as Mexican), and I've self-identified as Latino ever since.
Well, a
real Latino is an Italian who comes from/lives in the region neighboring Rome (Latium). It does make sense to use Latino in a broader sense, but the term includes not only Hispanics but also Italians and maybe the French too.
So, that makes me technically Latino too.
