All Latin Americans Have Homogenous Origins"
Latin America is comprised of 33 different countries, located within South America, Central America, and the Caribbean islands. Just like European countries have different cultures and traditions, so do all the countries in Latin America.
There are a substantial number of people from South America living in the U.S.,2 and while many may speak Spanish just like those in Mexico and Central America, their heritage is not one and the same.
This is why it’s also important to ask a person of Hispanic descent how they’d like to be described and identified before labeling them yourself.
