I think you mean Hispanics and not Latins because the original Latins were an Italian tribe inhabiting central and south-central Italy. Through conquest by their most populous city-state, Rome, the original Latins culturally "Romanized" or "Latinized" the rest of Italy. In this way the word "Latin" ceased to mean a particular people or ethnicity. Subsequently, other regions, particularly the European ones such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, became lastingly culturally "Latinized" by the Roman Empire. Thus, from an early stage in its history, when used as a label for various groups of people, the term "Latin" has had purely legal and cultural meanings, not ethnic. I mean you are kind of correct but not really. And LOL @

And @ CapnCommando you may not like it but , Spanish is considered the second language of USA by many people.
Just wanted to get my 2cents in before the thread gets closed.
