spain is in europe so they are not latino (someone from latin america)

Answer 3

A very large number of latin-americans are mixed, usually with white (spanish), indigenous (descendants of Mayans, Incas, and other indigenous groups), and often black (from slaves brought by the Spanish). These mixes are far less typical in Spain.

Spanish culture is also very different. Though every latin american country's culture is different, they have more in common with each other than with Spain.

Spain is also a part of Europe and this is important. It has a European identity. It has a large number of immigrants whereas Latin America is a little more homogenous.

And Spaniards are like white, latin americans aren't.

Answer 5
