I guess it just gets muddied when race comes into play, perhaps because there really is no such thing. But I guess they had to decide if races should be capitalized or not. Because Latino is referring to a whole bunch of people, not one specific thing. So it just doesn't make sense in my eyes. Because you could also use your same argument in, human, not monkey, or human, not ape. Human is just as unique/specific as any of those other things (IMO).
