You should have stopped right there.

Latino is a US term to refer to people in the US by their origin.

Outside of the US people use Latinoamérica to refer to the central and South American former colonies of France, Portugal and Spain.

Iberoamérica is used too if you want to be more specific and exclude the French colonies

That is why we get back to "Latin America" doesn't exist :) It is all America, for the grievance of US Americans.
