I'm not arguing that the word latino is/isn't used, and I am not validating the use of a term over another. I'm well aware of the different p.o.v of this debate as I have both a BA and advanced degree in Latin American Studies. That does not change that fact that all people of latin american descent do not use the term latino to self identify.
