Quote:
speaking from the perspective of a none white (Han chinese girl here) are Latina's considered caucasians? But then again you are talking about ethnicities, not races here. My mistake. Would latinas from USA California be different ethnically than lets say latinas from NYC, and then on to the carribbean or even Italy/ Iberain peninsula the mother source of all latins?
I know that I am ethnically different from other asians primarily because I am Canadian culturally, but classified as Oriental in a racial sense. So does ethnicity stem from a racial/cultural meld?
btw, I like white guys the most, but that's because of the wide range of eye colour!

As a Latino, I do not consider myself to be caucasian. Latin people from different places are culturally different but are still considered to be Latino. Latino is more of a blanket term used for anyone that comes from a Latin country. A person from Mexico and a person from Puerto Rico can both be considered Latino but are both very different as far as culture goes. It's like the term Asian. You are Asian in a gereral sense, but probably something else more specifically.
Ethnicity, Race and Nationality are all terms that are not clearly defined. You can have the same answer for one, two or three of those terms. It all depends on how you see your self I suppose. Sorry to stray from the thread topic. Just trying to help
