Perhaps, I don't get too involved in the word salad that is the ever evolving language we call english where we make up words for new things all the time. Just a few years ago there was no such word as crowdfunding now it is in the dictionary.
The english language adds new words to describe things all the time.
There are lots of Cherokee's with Spanish sir-names, it amuses me to think that they are classified as latino when they clearly are not.
Blah blah blah, made up term.

Me personally, I call myself American, I was born of American parents in America. My ancestors were from Mexico.
But we have a very distinct culture to claim that we do not is a lie.
Our weddings feature Mariachi for instance. Spain does not have Mariachi, we did not import that culture from anywhere, it was home grown in Mexico.
I was born on a Cherokee reservation to Cajun/Cherokee parents. I understand culture.
Still. Its a recently "invented" category created to make everyone with a Spanish sir-name "different" from me.

Speaking for both my Cherokee and Cajun families, we're just grateful for toilets and hot water. God bless the British Empire.
