Searching for the self

Apparently, in the U.S., everybody that is not milky White, Asian or African American, is Latino (of course, lately, Indians have a big share of the cake, but let's stick with the basics).
What happens to the ones that are not native speakers of English nor Spanish, have round eyes and white skin?
I believe that we, humans, are all equals, and that it is perfectly reasonable to expect the world population to be like this in a near future. At least when it comes to human racial diversity.
I'm a dreamer, I know.

But anyway, the topic has been on my mind lately. It seems there ought to be a classification, so I decided to explore the chances of getting an answer.

These generalizations and assumptions never sounded right to me.
Let's take the concept of "Latinos" for example, shall we?
Aren't Latinos the ones who speak Spanish and have a Hispanic background? I don't know anymore.

It looks like Latinos are those who strictly come from Spanish speaking countries. If so, why aren't the Spanish from Spain called Latinos? 

Maybe the term Latinos (or Latin) refers to people whose mother-tongue derives from Latin. Then the French should be called Latinos, right? And the Italians too. And they are surely not. 

Maybe the so called Latinos are the people from South and Central America. Sounds perfect, but then again, what is the category in which Brazilians stand? Because, even though living in South America, Brazilians do not speak Spanish, remember?

VERY interesting post I found on Wikipedia today. It gave answers to all my questions.

Stumbled upon this. Awesome stuff.

The Verbing of America

The verbing of America
Is getting out of hand,
Yet many nouns are also verbs,
Like toast and rake and land.
When I first heard hospitalize,
I thought it was a crime;
Why don't we apartmentalize?
We will -- just give us time!
If when we change a noun to verb
To come up with our `verbing,'
Why can't I, when I'm using herbs,
Refer to it as herbing?
For if I call myself a cook The verbal form is cooking;
And if I give someone a look,
It's also known as looking.
I give a gift
But I'm not gifting.
You get my drift,
Or am I drifting?
I get a bill
Because of billing,
But taking pills
Is never pilling.
I place a pin,
And I am pinning.
Play a violin --
Is it violining?
But play a fiddle,
And you're fiddling;
Or is this getting
Much too piddling?
Planting some seeds
Is always seeding,
And pulling weeds
Is surely weeding;
If drawing blood
Is always bleeding,
Why does a flood
Not lead to fleeding?
I'm wined and dined
But never beered.
I've eyed someone,
But never eared!
Turn on a light,
And I am lighting.
Turn on a lamp,
And it's not lamping.
If I can verbalize
A needle,
And egging on
Can mean to wheedle,
And I am doodling
With a doodle,
When I cook pasta,
Can't I noodle?
With all these punctuation marks,
I'm doing quite a lot of dotting;
But if I were to use a dash --
Don't you agree that I am dashing?
But comma-ing and period-ing?
And yet I can italicize
And sometimes must capitalize.
I Anglicize -- but Germanicize?
Or Swedicize, or Gaelicize?
With this I could go on and on,
Really ad infinitum;
Whether I lick these word problems,
I sure cannot beat 'em.
Our language is an enigma
In how its words are used;
And that is why, in verbing nouns,
We ought to be excused.  Thanks to Jessica Kestner, who found this in St. Paul Pioneer Press
