Oh, okay. Well, some people do use it interchangeably (i.e.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispani...tino_Americans), but in fact Latinos, indeed, means Latin Americans.
But IDK, in the US at least I think the terms are strongly attached, I don't think we would identify as Latinos (in their conception), we're culturally very separated.
