Brazilians and Argentines: are they considered Latinos?

[Loony BoB]

Belize is a country in Central America that was not colonized by Spain, and Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are three countries in South America that were also not colonized by Spain, and in the Caribbean, only three countries, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, were colonized by Spain; the rest were colonized by other European countries. But Spain conquered the vast majority of Latin America, so I think it should be called Spanish America or Iberian America instead, if you want to include Brazil, which was colonized by Portugal, because Spain and Portugal together are referred to as the Iberian Peninsula.

As for Brazil and Argentina, Brazil is multiracial, but Argentina is predominately white.

The majority of the Americas as a whole were colonised by Europeans, that doesn't mean you should call the entire two continents "European America".

"Latin" relates to a culture and language. "Iberian" relates to a physical region. If someone were to say something is "Latin" I would understand they mean that it is related to the Latin cultures. If someone were to say something is "Iberian" I would assume it comes from the Iberian peninsula.

The phrase 'Latin America' was coined by a French person, if I recall correctly. If you want to start saying "Iberian America" you can give it a shot, but I highly doubt it will catch on.
