I’m from Mexico, but I’ve never traveled to latin american countries, I have no idea how cultures are in other latin american countries, yet for some reason, I’m latino?? I don’t want to identify as that, can I just identify as something else?? I mean some americans who have Irish ancestry say they are Irish, and I have spaniard ancestry, so can I say I’m spaniard??

      The whole country doesn’t speak french only Quebec does. Similar to Louisiana.

      Im just quoting from wikipedia in my comment above so if you don’t like the definition take it up with them.

      I never said mexico wasn’t in north america.

        oh ok I’m very sorry nya!!! I thought you were saying that Mexico was in Central America, but the geographical fact is that it’s in North America nya!! Also Quebec would be a Latin American place then?? What if Mexico changed their language nya?? I speak English which means, I am bilingual, so if I speak English, I’m not Latino anymore??
