having spent most of my time in peru and chile for the last three years it seems latinos divide the west into two sections. anyone north of the rio grande is gringo, south is latino. mexico and indeed all of central america is part of latin america.
i recently flew from vancouver to mexico then mexico to lima. the mexico-lima flight was considered domestic and i had to argue to get the 35 kilo per suitcase allowance.
of course it doesn't please me to be considered "american", simply because i am canadian, but . hey, i have been asked if canada is in europe, or is canada the biggest state in the usa
