I understand why you are confused. Latinos/Hispanics are not one race. They are an ethnic group that comes in all races and includes various admixtures. If you're in the U.S., the Hispanics/Latinos you come across can vary by geographic location. Where I live (the south in an agricultural state), the Latinos/Hispanics are Indigenous Mexicans. By this, I mean they are Indigenous people that speak Spanish. You won't find the white Hispanics like Pitbull, Shakira, and the like down here.

When it comes to skin tones, they range from brown-skinned to so dark that they are blacker than many black people. Basically, they are like the Indians that come from India. Now that I think about it, the only thing that makes these two groups different are their cultures and the languages they speak. They look the same, though. The only thing that distinguishes some of them from black people is their hair texture. We even share some facial features (like our noses and eyes).

I actually know some black people that have "Asian-like eyes" -- and they are two black parents. I think we have more in common than we realize. When my family members did DNA tests, Native American showed up in our DNA (10%+), and we range from medium brown to dark-skinned. There are some Far East Asians down here (the typical white ones), but they are less common. When I traveled to Costa Rica, the first Latinos to greet me where Asians (Far East white ones) that spoke Spanish.

I met more during my time there. Some spoke English and their respective Asian language (like Japanese or whatever). I also met a lot of black Latinos (that looked full black) and rocked afros. They were all into black power and celebrating their blackness. They even spoke Patois, in addition to Spanish. I met a couple of them that also spoke English (went to bilingual-language schools). The craziest part was that I sometimes forgot I was in Costa Rica -- because a few of them looked like my family members!

I just realized I'm babbling, but I think you get my point. In reality, there is no one look to being Hispanic or Latinos. It's cultural and about where your people were dropped off at or where they chose to go through time.
I appreciated this, everybody whose hating like yall know yall can just scroll by right? Or just shut yalls mouths? Jeez

Trust me, I get all of that. The reason why I inquired was because his username has mixed in it, and he recently got Japanese writing tattooed on his arm. So I put the two and two together, in addition to his looks, and assumed he was (South) Asian.

Oh. I don't pay attention to tattoos like that. I knew he was Latin because of how I came to know him.

I was wondering if anybody else noticed that LOL. His face has changed 0.o
He's young, and his body is still growing. Guy's bodies change until about 24. I know mine did. Not only did I gain weight, but mass, in general. My face also changed. I went from having a long, oval-like face (when skinny) to having a rounder, fuller face.
