The person in the tweet is American so I used the American census definition. I’m pretty confident any reputable source doesn’t count “loving hard” as a valid reason to identify as Latino.
The Middle East gets overlooked in the UK too. My dad is Irish, my mum is half Iranian and half English. She usually ends up ticking the “mixed - other” box. I can’t recall if the UK even has an “hispanic” option.
In the UK? My favourite restaurant is an independent Spanish tapas bar! It’s only a 15 minute walk away so I eat there more than my waistline would like! Isn’t there a tapas chain in the UK too? I can’t think of the name now. But yes, I wish there were more!
Obviously the “loving hard” part is dumb, but I hope you see the irony on posting this tweet and then citing for the definition of “Latino” a website from a US institution
So the definition of what “Latino” is comes from… the US institutions?

They certainly don’t have a Hispanic option when choosing where to eat😭

I think I quite clearly explained why I used the American definition for this American.
