Wikipedia

  1. latin american

    Latin Americans (Spanish: Latinoamericanos; Portuguese: Latino-americanos; French: Latino-américains) are the citizens of Latin American countries (or people with cultural, ancestral or national origins in Latin America). Latin American countries and their diasporas are multi-ethnic and multi-racial. Latin Americans are a pan-ethnicity consisting of people of different ethnic and national backgrounds. As a result, some Latin Americans do not take their nationality as an ethnicity, but identify themselves with a combination of their nationality, ethnicity and their ancestral origins. Aside from the indigenous population, all Latin Americans have some Old World ancestors who arrived since 1492. Latin America has the largest diasporas of Spaniards, Portuguese, Africans, Italians, Lebanese and Japanese in the world. The region also has large German (second largest after the United States), French, Palestinian (largest outside the Arab states), Chinese and Jewish diasporas. The specific ethnic and/or racial composition varies from country to country and diaspora community to diaspora community: many have a predominance of mixed indigenous and European descent or mestizo, population; in others, native Americans are a majority; some are mostly inhabited by people of European ancestry; others are primarily mulatto. The largest single group are white Latin Americans. Together with the people of part European ancestry, they combine for almost the totality of the population.Latin Americans and their descendants can be found almost everywhere in the world, particularly in densely populated urban areas. The most important migratory destinations for Latin Americans are found in the United States, Spain, France, Canada and Italy.

Examples of latin american in a Sentence

  1. Pope Francis:

    The Latin American church has a long history of being close to the people. If we go over the episcopal conferences — the first one at Medellín, then Puebla, Santo Domingo and Aparecida — they were always in dialogue with the people of God, and that really helped. It is a popular church in the real sense of the word. It is a church of the people of God.

    I was born and raised in Latin American and have lots of Mexican friends who have immigrated to the United States, they have had many negative experiences with the banking system here, whether it's because of fear, language barriers or cultural differences -- whatever it is -- there's enough Spanish speakers in the US. They deserve their own banking and that's why we started Seis.
