I mean, this doesn't really come off as all that surprising. It wasn't really until very recently that "Latino" or "Hispanic" and "White" were considered separate ethnic categories. Arguably, given that other European Mediterranean ethnicities like Italian and Greek are considered "White", "Latino" should be considered "white" just like they are, as they're just Spanish descended people with some degree of Native American admixture... which is ALSO true of many of the old "white" families of the US too. The division between "White Americans" and "Latin Americans" was always more of a linguistic divide (English vs Spanish) than anything else, with a little bit of religious divide too (Catholic vs Protestant... but there's a LOT of "white" Catholics in the US too). I mean, Hispanic / White pairings have never really been considered "weird" in the US as far as I can tell, especially when you look at the old Western stories and Western movies. I suspect that "Latino" is much more of a constructed identity for political purposes than an actual ethnicity.Honestly, even to this day, if you look at intermarriage statistics it's basically just a White-Hispanic thing, with some Asians-White pairings on the side. Most Black-White pairings don't result in marriages and, based off polling, are actually a lot rarer than presented in the media:
Those numbers are both hilarious and sad, It seems like East Asian Women are the dominant forms of females.Honestly, even to this day, if you look at intermarriage statistics it's basically just a White-Hispanic thing, with some Asians-White pairings on the side.

Great Britain and the Iberian Peninsula do have rather different ethnic makeups to begin with, so it's more a fresh demonym for the new location.
Why? I mean Latin comes from Italy so France Italy Spain and Romania are Latin or Latino ironically.
Certainly they do. As does Great Britain and the Italian Peninsula... as well as Great Britain and the Greek Peninsula. However, both Greeks and Italians are considered "white" under American ethnic standards. In fact, proper Spanish people from the Iberian peninsula who immigrate to the US ALSO count as "white", not Latino. Latino definitionally MUST come from Mexico or Central America because they're not actually an ethnic group but a political identity group made up to divide people and get them to vote Democrat.
That’s how it’s defined in America. But if you google translate Latino from Spanish to English it translates to Latin. And French and Italians are and are considered by themselves to be Latin.
Honestly? When such a thing becomes useful to the Establishment, especially the Democrats.
We're already seeing that happen with Latins.
Don't you mean Latinx?
It depends on their voting and behavioral patterns.
*Points at Jormungandr* HERESY.Don't you mean Latinx?
Uhh, Central & South American Latino are a distinct ethnicity from Iberian. The Spanish encourage mixing, so it's technically a hybrid of various indigenous & Iberian, and now distinct from both.
