Someone of Italian descent in Buenos Aires, another of Afro-Caribbean descent in the Dominican Republic, and another of predominantly Amerindian descent in Oaxaca all being labeled as Latino is about as vague as just calling them human. Latin America is a pretty diverse region and way too broad to be any kind of encompassing group.
