Why aren't Southern Italians considered "Latino" in the USA?

>Under Spanish control for centuries
>Swarthy Manlets
>Speaks Romance language
>Roman Catholic
>Immigrants who were treated like second class citizens
>Actual Latins as opposed to fake Latins i.e. mestizos/Amerindians

because hispanic, latino, latin american, are all such arbitrary terms that mean different things to different people

are they not?

No. They're considered Whites.

...

Latinos are necessarily non-white?

As far a the US census is concerned, yes. That's why it's retarded.

You should write a letter to your congressman.

It'd be a waste of time.

Everything is a waste of time.

I always read in American websites that "Latinos can be of any race". Anyway, you do understand why the world finds American racial classification confusing, right?

By who?

Sicilians are Africans, Sardinians are Asiatic, Southern Italians are Greeks

What happened to the Kingdom of the Two Shitcilies?

This is what Sicilians looked like in the 4th century. What happened?

A significant minority of Sicilians still look like that.

WE WUZ WHITE AND SHIT

latino means someone born in a Spanish-speaking country

An arab, whitey, asian, and black born in Mexico are all considered Latino

Because Med culture and South American culture are very different.

Don't care we use to genocide them anyway

They are not even latino, they are rather arabs.

"Hispanic" doesn't make any sense as racial classification anyway, americans are braindead

>4th century AD
barbarians

Because Latino means people from Latin America and Italy is in Europe you dumb fuck
That qt on the front

>Sicilians are Latins
Uuuggh
