Can Italians identify themselves as "LatinX" when filling out job applications?

Interested in this as well

As long as they don't put white, I don't give a shite what they call themselves.

As an ethnicity Latino stands for someone from Latin America, not someone that speaks a language of Latin descent.

For the record, people from Spain are not considered Latino either.

So, no you can't check that on a job application. More than likely no one would notice if you did, but that would be a pretty silly and unnecessary reason to not get a job.

what are they going to do, question your race/ethnicity? not in 2016.

if you have darker skin and hair, I can't see anyone questioning it. maybe im wrong though.

If I were of Italian ancestry, I would definitely put "Latin."

Latino has a very specific connotation. But, Latin is defensible and supportable.

What would the boys at the Bada Bing think?

It also has a male gender designation which is extremely offensive. It borders on patriarchal hate speech.

Sicilians, easily, ha.

Also if any Italian can claim they're Latino, then Romanians can claim they're Latinos.

that's a good question.

A part of me thinks they wouldn't want to be grouped with actual latinos, but they love to cheat the system however they can.

i meant latinos.
