Everybody knows that Iberio-America (commonly misappropriately named "LATIN" America for dubious reasons) is not a cultural hegemon. The idea that one should group the plethora of nations together based on the language they speak is completely ludicrous metric to determine a region. It is equally as nonsensical as calling Vietnam "Chinese" and Finland "Nordic". Frankly, they do not even speak Latin. Spanish is about as equivalent to vulgar Latin as English is to German. And combining Brasil (I pronounce it "Brah-HEEL-lay") with the others doesn't make sense even in that context. The only countries worthy of the title "Latin" are those with significant Italic descendants, like Brazil and Argentina. Thus, I propose a motion to completely redfine how we categorize the "bloc" previously known as Latin America

Moorish America:
Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia
African America:
The Caribbean, Brazil, Venezuela
Olmec America:
Mexico + Central America
Norte Chico America:
The rest of South America

Below I have provided a handy dandy map to help illustrate what this might look like. What are your thoughts? Feel free to comment and give your own suggestions.

Oh yes, also the USA is more Latin American than these other countries, as we have many Italian southrons (actual Latins) as opposed to the northerner diaspora living in the supposed "latin" America :coolfish:

Both continents rightfully belong under one banner. The true United Nations of America. We must cast off this framing from the Old World and rise from the coronavirus ashes like a phoenix. A new American order....

they are latin because they worship the pope, king of the latins

I like that there's a north moorish america and a south moorish america, and a little section of anglo-frankish tucked away as well. Don't see that causing confusion at all.

Technically the south of Mexico should be Olmec, and Belize has never been considered Latin America anyways.

No, I'd say it's more like saying Istanbul belongs to the Turks. If you support Spain, you support Moorish Iberia. Simple as.

Dark skin = black. Bright skin = white. It's way more simple than the absolute nonsense Americans try to pull over everybody, like their olde timey pseudo-science is any more objective.

ACTUALLY with Manifest Destiny in play, we can extrapolate that there is an emperor declared through providence and it's.... Donald Trump??? Well, guess we'll wait on the Papal's decree.
