No, he's Hispanic. Latinos are descended from Latin American countries, and Hispanics are descended from Spain (Hispania). Mexicans hate being called Latinos. True, the Spaniards conquered and sent missionaries to both Latin America (South America, Central America) and Mexico --and the Caribbean, e.g., Puerto Rico), but Latinos are descended from the natives of Latin America and Hispanics from the Mexia tribes of Mexico (Aztec, Olmec, Toltec, Mayan). If this is the kid shot in Little Village in Chicago (my hometown and where I spent many years visiting after marrying a man from Mexico), then he is Hispanic. Little Village is where the Mexicans live on the city's south side (their rivals, the Puerto Ricans, live on the north side).

Actually the "Latinos" didn't exist until starting about 400-500 years ago. Before that there were just Indios in Mexico, and South America. Unlike the English settlers who brought their wives to the Eastern Sea Board, the Spanish that came to Mexico, and S. America were almost all soldiers. The Spanish screwed anything that moved, and created a race of what is called Metezos which is a mix of Spanish, and Indians to several different degrees. Those remaining Spaniards are referred to as Castilianoes. The Islands of the West Indies which was settled by the English, Dutch, French, Spanish, and even Brazil by Portugal became mostly black from the heavy slave trade (85 %) of the Atlantic trade into those areas.
