What is a latina?

Chica (la original)

Latinas come from countries that speak languages originated from Latin, such as: Spanish, Portuguese or French. They are located from Mexico to Argentina, Caribbean and the Iberian Peninsula.

As far as looks goes, there's a common stereotype that they're brown skin and dark hair. But in reality, we come in all colors, sizes and shapes.

You probably don't speak Spanish but there's a song that says: "de MÃ©xico a Buenos Aires diferente es la mujer" which means something along the lines of "From Mexico to Buenos Aires there are all kinds of women"

A Latina is a person from a Latin American country. Latin America is the region that spans from Mexico down through Central and South America to the bottom of Argentina. It also includes some islands such as Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. Generally they have dark hair and eyes, but the looks can vary as much as the "typical american" look can.

A woman who's ethnicity is a Spanish speaking country is a latina. They don't have a particular "look", they come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

the present meaning is a woman born south of texas who who's native language is spanish, portuguese and even france.....in some cases.

the traditional meaning is actually a person/woman from southern europe. portugal, spain, south of france, and italy. hence, latin AMERICA. to denote the latins that went to america.

the "a" nearly always means female and the "o" nearly always means male.....think "O" bald head, and "a" with the tail on the "a" as the womans hair.

Latinas are women of latin descent. This would include most latin american women, and those of the latin countries in Europe, like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and I believe Romania. So it is not only watered down to chicks form Latin America, although that is often the generalization.

Latinas are the women from Latino-AmÃ©rica...Latina for girls and Latino for boys and We look like any human being...

latin(a)= latin woman
latin(o)=latin male

The (a) and (o) at the end of many spanish words indicite gender.

Latina and Latino is a slang word that American's use to categorize people that have immigrated from Latin America to the USA.

South America was called "Hispania" hundred's of years ago, that is why people in the USA call these people Hispanic or latinos, because their language is derived from Latin.

People that come from Spain, France or Italy are not Latino or Latina, regardless of their language originating from Latin.

Hispanic is a group of people. Hispanic is not a race of people. Follow this link for a better understanding http://www.hispanic-research.com/home/who_are_they.htm

A latina is a girl that is Hispanic. A latino is a Hispanic boy. They generally have brown or blue eyes, brownish-blackish hair, and a skin complexion that is between brown and peach (kinda tan). Latinas are found in any hispanic country or anywhere that has hispanics. For example a hispanic born in America is still considered a latina.
