She is neither Latin nor is Hispanic.


Hispanic means someone who speak Spanish.
Latin today is associated to who speak Spanish.

Portugueses, Frenchs, Italians, Angolans... all them speak a language derived from Latin but nobody calls them "latins".

Brazilians are not "latins", we are just Brazilians (and continentally South Americans).

She is British descendent of Brazilian, not "latin" or "hispanic"

Latin can also refer to someone of Latin American ancestry. Besides, Spanish isn't the only language to come up from Latin nor was Spanish even the original latin people.

She's a latina/latina descent because her mother's from a latin american country.

Who wants her to be Hispanic? She's White.
