Already did....
This should end it once and for all, LOL.
No, I don't consider myself Latina because I have no Hispanic origins, according to the modern (and more widely accepted) definition of what "Latino/Latina" means. This is mostly a term made familiar among those of Mexican, Central/South American, and Spanish-Caribbean descent. I do, however, have some Spanish blood, but that just means I'm of European/Mediterranean descent. None of my Spanish ancestors ever made it over to, what is now considered, Hispanic America.
I don't consider myself "of Latin descent" either, as "Latin" was originally meant to describe a language. It shouldn't really be used to describe heritage, these days (unless you don't mind people assuming you're MUCH older than you really are, lol!) It's no different than saying a person with an Asian background is Oriental!
Did that make anyone dizzy?

Asia however consists of Saudi Arabia, India, and parts of the former USSR along with several other countries
and you are right about Asia too. Most people think being Asian means being Chinese

Oh no, hun, no offense taken at all! I consider it a compliment, actually, but its just not an accurate description of me, technically. I can definitely pass for being "Latina" though.
Italian/Eurasian/Spanish-Carribbean/No Chinese...got it.
My question is, do you have tan lines?
