Oh yeah, reading the wiki and it says it's used for gender neutral individuals, not groups of people of different genders. My bad. :lol:
I usually use the term Hispanic instead of Latino/Latina, even though it's sometimes more specific than my usage of "someone of Latin American descent." In Maine, it doesn't matter. Most people say Mexican for those same people, even if they have no relatives from or ties to Mexico. I hate that a lot.
