Yes, but "human" isn't referring to something unique. "Christoper Lee," on the other hand, is.
I understand the confusion. "Latino" refers to a group...but it refers to a group with a unique set of characteristics. (In this case, it is considered a proper and collective noun.)
humans (common)...Latinos (proper) (both collective nouns, but the former is a common noun, while the latter is a collective noun)
humans: no unique characteristic identified (a bunch of people of any kind)
Latinos: unique characteristics identified (people of Latin-American or Spanish-speaking descent)
I am human, but I am not Latino.
