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??

    There’s no such thing as not having a culture, nor such a thing as being “culturally neutral”.

        I think you don’t need to identify as anything. You’re you and you’re doing it well. Good luck in all you choose to do!
