Latino is just denoting Latin heritage. My biological father's people are from Cuba. They were rum runners during Prohibition. While yes I'm technically Afro-Latina it doesn't mean much to me, I didn't grow up with my father's family. I grew up in a Jewish/Italian neighborhood and personally it took me a bit to figure out I wasn't actually Italian. My mother's Creole, with pretty dark red-brown skin and shiny naturally straight black hair which I envy. She has thin mouth, thick eyebrows, and low round cheekbones. I don't look much like either parent. Lawrence is tall with blue-black skin, slanted eyes that are sea green. He has big wide lips, a long thin nose, and seems to be naturally hairless.
I look like no one really. I have light red-brown skin that finally got darker once we moved south. (I was compared to a banana most of my childhood). I have dark slanted eyes that are such a dark grey most people just assume they're brown or black. My hair is full of loose bouncy curly that are nightmare to comb come washing time. I have cheekbones so sharp I could cut glass, a pointy chin, and full lips that always make me look petulant.
