No, I mean English. Growing up my teachers were mostly British English speakers (with some Israeli thrown in), and since moving to the U.S. I have also been exposed to non-American varieties such as Australian and Nigerian Engish as well.

If you specifically want to refer to people from Spain, they are Spanish. Hispanic is anyone from a Spanish speaking country, especially Latin America
Look, it's even official: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/latino
I mean, it's literally spanglish: https://translate.google.com/#es/en/latino
Yes, and they speak spanish because their ancestors where from Spain....
But, yeah, ok, i wasn't clear enough.
....
Anyway, in most romance languages, the word for black will sound like "negro"... or a variation.
Or were conquered by Spain.
Look, fucking the local population into minutely defined castes based on % of blood on either side was their one thing... don't take it away by implying they left some natives unfucked...
I am unpersuaded that "latino" (when speaking English) refers to romance-language speakers in anything but your fanciful imagination.
Potato, ethnolinguistic subjugation.
Do you not know what the "" are for? Well, they do have more then 1 use, i guess, but i'll let you figure which i was going for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_marks_in_English

Basically his argument is the same as saying "Well, when I said Asian instead of Indian, I wasn't *technically* wrong"
One of the uses of "" is doing it ironically... it's right there in the link...
I was using latino wrong on purpose, because you're all culturally appropriating the Ancient Romans... hence the northern barbarians reference...
IT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION ALL THE WAY DOWN...
Never get high off your own supply.
Well, since quotation marks were originally invented by the ancient Sumerians...

How is it cultural appropriation when they invaded our lands and forced their ways on us?
They where all bare chested, and some where even painted in bright, attractive colours... it's like they where asking for invasion....
