Best Answer

Spanish, Italian, Portugeuse, French, and Romanian are latinos because they speak a Romance language, the Roman Empire was huge and had a big impact on the above countries. But the Latin tribes are in Rome. Spanish people are more Latino then Mexicans will ever be, although there are white people of Spanish and Italian decent in Mexico

The term "Latino" typically refers to people from Latin America, which includes countries where Spanish is the primary language. While "Latino" may not specifically refer to people from Spain, Spanish people can be considered part of the larger Latino community due to shared cultural and linguistic ties with Latin America.
