How odd is it that ‘Latino’ doesn’t include Italians? Imagine if ‘Teutonic’ or ‘Germanic’ didn’t include Germans. Or, perhaps a better analogy, ‘Anglos’ didn’t include the English.

Sent your question to an Italian. Maybe he will know.

An answer or two. Once heard the rant of a Spanish language teacher who was mad because someone included non-Spanish language countries under the Latin America label.

No answer is sought. The etymology is clear enough (it’s basically short for “latinoamericano’). It’s the odd state of the outcome that I’m asking people to reflect on.
