No, they weren't. Latinx (or the equivalent combination of Latino/Latina) is not synonymous with Hispanic, and more to the point, even if it was, the slavers were (by modern American terms) racially White ethnic Hispanics, so it wouldn't change the White/Black racial dynamic.
That’s some pretty impressive mental gymnastics. It’s likely that the crews of those first Portuguese and Spanish slave ships included plenty of mixed Hispanic/North Africans too.
By the way North Africans raided as far as the south coast of England in order to capture slaves of their own.

The word you are looking for is “narrative”.
I guess I can't keep up with the shifting terminology, are natives considered blacks now then? Isn't that supposed to be BIPOCS?
Actually if we are talking about slaves, then native Americans had been enslaving each other for centuries before Whites or Latinx arrived.
Black people enslaved other blacks in Africa, Latinx shipped them to America where the natives were also enslaving each other. White people put an end to all 3 of these activities, everywhere. This is historical fact.
PS I am Welsh.
You rewrite history, white wsshing it to make yourselves out to be the great white saviors despite having participated for many centuries.
“Hey the Africans sold their enemies to us so it must be Ok.”
So had the peoples in africa:
>>Very few Americans know that slavery was common throughout the world as well as in Africa, says Sandra E. Greene, History.

No one said something about justification, but since you need a slave you obliviously did not evolve...let me guess your from the US right?
BTW: I'm not your "bro" little wanna be slaveholder.
Native Americans enslaved each other so they needed white Europeans to civilize them.
Africans enslaved each other and sold them to us so it was OK to make avaracian fortunes doing the same.
You enslaved Africans so it is only fair play for them to invade your nation, rape your women and enslave your populace.
Oh dear, we have strayed from the narrative and now the Californians are here
That isn't true, since the first black slaves were brought over by the ethnic group we now call Latinx.
