rep to anyone that can make this paragraph less confusing:

Latino indicates a male individual from Latin America or the singular gender neutral form used to refer to an individual from Latin America. Latina is the feminine singular form used to discuss a female from Latin America, with Latinas as it's plural. This form is not gender neutral. To dicuss a group of men or a mixed gender group, the term Latinos is used.


much love,

Single Latin American Male = Latino
Single Latin American Female = Latino/Latina
Group of Latin American Females = Latinas
Group of Latin American Males = Latinos
Group of Mixed Gender Latin American = Latinos

That's what i got from it. But I think I may have gone wrong there somewhere. lol
 
From what I can tell, it's like a dictionary only more wordy lol.

Latino: A male individual from Latin America (one male)
OR
Any individual from Latin America (one person, male or female)

Latina: A female from Latin America (one female)

Latinas: A female from Latin America (two or more females)

Latinos: A group of males from Latin America
OR
A group of males and females from Latin America.

I hope that's what you meant, unless you were looking more for someone to rephrase it into paragraph form to make it easier to read, then let me know and I can try that too 🙂

edit:... or what elmo said lol 😉
 
I'm sorry, I wrote it, so I know what it means, what I need is a prettier paragraph. but yes you all understand what I am trying to say, it just needs to be smoother.
 
lol - sorry! I totally misunderstood. Erm... I'm not too good at writing pretty paragraphs though. Let me have a think.

Ok... you could write something like:

The term Latino could be used to describe a latin american individual of male or neutral gender. (or something along those lines?)
