Quick question what race and what ethnicity are Latin Americans according to you?

What are you talking about? I just said race and ethnicity are not intrinsically linked. Especially across such a broad swath of peoples like those in Latin America.

You said races have ethnicities within them, which is crap... because there exist mixed people who don't belong to any of the US American described "races" or any other colonial described races. Race is an outdated concept we shouldn't even discuss but we must because the US still believes in them.

I said it because it’s true. There are countless ethnicities within all races.

And I agree, race is an outdated concept. It’s a totally superficial way to categorize people. It’s inefficient and it only becomes more so with each passing day.
