Most "everyday" American-English terms to define "race", etc, are wrong. Just because they are used daily, by many, does in no way make them correct. That includes the term "Latino". There is no common "culture" to tie them that closely.
"Black" is slang, not a "real" term, to describe a "race". The same can be said for "African-Americans, since the VAST majority of those who claim that are native born Americans with even less ties to Africa than I have to Europe.
Nobody gives a furry rat's behind. You're the only person in this thread talking about race. Pilgrim didn't say "black race," he said "black people." I didn't say Latino race," I said "Latino immigrant." Why you want to make this about race, which is a completely different topic, I have no idea. One thing I do know, however, is that you know how to start a new thread, so if you want to talk about race and ethnicity and all of the various variations and permutations thereof, knock yourself out in a new thread.
Having watched the video I would find it difficult to determine race/ethnicity or nation origin of the man in question. He looks like many who hail from many places and/or mixed races, which is not out of the norm in most of the "America's".
Having watched the video, and only the video, I would have the same difficulty. But then I read the accompanying article there they gave his name (first clue), and that he is an illegal immigrant (second clue), and that he is a member of a gang (third clue). An illegal immigrant, in Texas, with an Hispanic name, is most likely (and yes, before you say it, I realize that "most likely" only means "most likely" and does not mean "a one hundred percent certainty") someone from somewhere south of the US/Mexican border, an area of the world known as Latin America, where men are known as Latinos (and women are known as Latinas). Some quick research in reading additional articles about the incident confirmed that he was a Latino. from Honduras, and was a member of the infamous MS-13 gang (the Los Angeles-based Mara Salvatrucha gang comprised chiefly of Salvadorans, plus Hondurans and Guatemalans). Once I had all of the necessary information with which to make a determination as to his ethnicity and national origin, it was real easy to make a determination as to his ethnicity and national origin.
The guy in the video got smoked because he asked for it.
No one disputes that.
