It is true that the English-speaking Caribbean has its own distinct culture, but a black-and-white division between "Latin" and "Anglo" when discussing the Americas is sometimes a generalization that isn't meaningful, as many Anglophone Caribbean nations share a lot of culture and heritage with their Francophone and Hispanophone neighbors, and there are many countries and territories whose cultures differ greatly despite sharing the same language (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Haiti" title="Haiti">Haiti</a> and the French overseas <i>départements</i> of Martinique and Guadeloupe, or Venezuela and Colombia). Plus, this distinction tends to ignore the indigenous populations of these countries. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>, "Latin America" often means "countries in the Americas that aren't the US or Canada". This definition is used by both <a href="/wiki/Liberal" class="mw-redirect" title="Liberal">liberals</a> and <a href="/wiki/Conservative" class="mw-redirect" title="Conservative">conservatives</a>; for example, when courting Spanish-speakers in the US as a voting bloc (the so-called "Latino vote"). Again, this distinction, while rooted in some truth, is a generalization without much basis in actual history or statistics. While Spanish-speakers do tend to vote <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party" title="Democratic Party">Democratic</a> in local and national elections, they are far from homogenous, and there are considerable differences between groups, for instance <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexican</a>-Americans are generally much more left-leaning than <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuban</a>-Americans. Furthermore, many US <a href="/wiki/State" title="State">states</a> (<a href="/wiki/Texas" class="mw-redirect" title="Texas">Texas</a>, <a href="/wiki/California" class="mw-redirect" title="California">California</a>, <a href="/wiki/Florida" class="mw-redirect" title="Florida">Florida</a>, <a href="/wiki/Louisiana" class="mw-redirect" title="Louisiana">Louisiana</a>, etc.) were originally at least in part settled as Spanish or French colonies by the same people who settled Latin America. Conservatives in these states <a href="/wiki/Revisionist_history" class="mw-redirect" title="Revisionist history">tend to de-emphasize this part of history</a>. </p><p>Many <a href="/wiki/Illegal_immigration" class="mw-redirect" title="Illegal immigration">undocumented immigrants</a> to the US are from Latin America. The <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party" title="Republican Party">Republican Party</a> has a reputation for being hostile to immigrants from Latin America thanks to its high concentration of members expressing strong anti-immigration views (see <a href="/wiki/Louie_Gohmert" title="Louie Gohmert">Louie Gohmert</a> or <a href="/wiki/Jan_Brewer" title="Jan Brewer">Jan Brewer</a>). This is despite <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" class="mw-redirect" title="Colonialism">the fact that almost all Americans are descended from immigrants</a>, not to mention the fact that many Latin Americans <a href="/wiki/Irony" title="Irony">are phenotypically European, are devoutly Christian, have large families, and don't approve of abortion, birth control, or sometimes even homosexuality</a>, although like with many other groups, the younger generations are becoming increasingly progressive. </p><p>Even though "Latin America" is commonly interpreted as meaning "Spanish-speaking countries," Brazil (with more than 200 million Portuguese speakers) is actually about half as populous as all the Spanish-language countries in the Americas combined (roughly 377 million people). <a href="/wiki/Paraguay" title="Paraguay">Paraguay</a> is also grouped with these countries, despite the fact that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_language" class="extiw" title="wp:Guarani language" rel="nofollow"><span style="color:#477979 !important;" title="Wikipedia: Guarani language">Guarani</span></a><sup><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" srcset="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/18px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 1.5x, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/24px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="128" data-file-height="128" /></sup> is slightly more common than Spanish there. And no one quite knows what to do with Guyana and Suriname, which use English and Dutch as official languages but use creoles based on said languages as their lingua francas. There's also Belize, which like Guyana uses English as its official language and is considered more aligned with the Caribbean, but it is embroiled in a land dispute with Guatemala which muddles things. </p><p>The terms "Latino" and "Hispanic" are almost always used interchangeably, though they both have different connotations. The term “Latino”, as stated before, refers to people and places exclusively in the Americas of Romance-Speaking European ancestry, including Spain, Portugal, and theoretically France, <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Romania" title="Romania">Romania</a>, though those three (besides France occasionally) are almost never included. In contrast, the term “Hispanic” refers to all people and places around the world of Spanish ancestry, such as Spain itself, Equatorial Guinea, and some ethnic groups of the <a href="/wiki/Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a>. The two terms most commonly are used interchangeably as a <a href="/wiki/Racialism" title="Racialism">racialized</a> classification for anyone from these countries, even though these countries are very diverse with large white, black, Asian, indigenous, and mixed-race populations.
