As I said earlier there's been some pretty interesting discussions between my current coworkers who are Panamanian, Mexican, Salvadoran, and Guatemalan. They all make sure that we understand they are different cultures. Many of them have different Indian cultures mixed in with the Spanish influence that have major influences on their cultures as a whole.

While I understand what you're saying, there
is something that Latino organizations are founded on. There is a common bond among Latino-Americans or there would be no need for these organizations.
We're talking about the cultures in the U.S. not necessarily worldwide. So, while there are elements that European Americans share culturally, there are also sub-cultures (British American, Dutch American, Swedish American, etc.) just as Latino Americans share certain common bonds, but are also diverse in sub-cultures (Panamanian American, Mexican American, etc.)
If we start talking about people who don't necessarily identify themselves as American, that's a completely different conversation.
