The concept of Latin It is a very present term in our language and that today we use a lot to designate those individuals who have a Latin American origin, that is, they were born in a country belonging to Latin America or Latin America, among others: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela, Cuba, Paraguay, Mexico, Colombia, Coast Rica, Ecuador, among others. One of the basic and most recognizable characteristics of Latinos is that they speak the Spanish language.
It should be noted that countries such as the USA, which is part of the continent American but not so America Latino and who have an important Latino community living in some of their states, such is the case of Florida, the concept of Latino is used to generically refer to a person who comes from Latin America or who speaks Spanish.
The city of Miami, in the state of Florida, has a very important Latino community in number, which is very rooted for decades, and that as a result has already spread and spread many of their traditions.
It is true that Latinos in cities like Miami are deeply rooted, but along with that reality, Latinos tend to be very persecuted for their non-American origin and by case it is common for them to be associated or linked to the perpetration of basic crimes such as the Commerce of drugs and robberies.
It is important that at this point we make a clarification, although countries such as Brazil and French Guiana formally belong to Latin America for their provision geographical area and also because they speak languages that come from the languagemother: Latin, Brazilians are not usually referred to as Latin, because precisely this use is more linked to the use of the Spanish language, then since Brazilians do not originally speak it, they are not called by this way.
But the concept of Latino has more uses and one of them is the one that states that Latino are all those peoples who use languages that have been derived from the Latin language, especially the so-called romances such as French, Portuguese and Spanish.
