Talk:Latin American Canadians

message: Do Haitian people fall under the "Latin" race? This article was originally about Canadians of Latin American origin (specifically spanish-speaking countries), and now there isn't an article about that! There already is an article about Haitian Canadians. Personally, I think that these edits should be reverted and the Haitian Canadian article should be edited instead of this one. Does anyone agree?

thread_title: Latin Canadian??

message: This article states that Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are a major source of Latin immigrants to Canada.  Where are they? I am a Puerto Rican born New Yorker and lived in Toronto last summer. I met people from over the world, but I didn't meet one Puerto Rican or Dominican.  I have also been to Montreal and Vancouver and didn't see any Puerto Ricans or Dominicans.   Does Canada have census list by country of origin?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.147.130 (talk) 08:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article 'Ethnic groups in Canada' has a big list from Statistics Canada. The three largest groups of Latinos in Canada (to answer the question at the top) are Mexicans, Chileans and Salvadorans. There are only about 1,000 Puerto Ricans in Canada: They should live in the USA since they're already considered American citizens. The number of Dominicans is unknown because Dominicans can be from the Dominican Republic OR Dominica. The total number of both come to almost 7,000, but Toronto has a sizable  Dominican community, so the number of  Dominicans in Canada is probably similar to that of the Puerto Ricans.

replies: text:  "Puerto Rican" may not be used but the politically correct semantics is they are Americans or from the U.S. (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an U.S. territory), same would go for Mexican-Texans in Alberta (the state does have many U.S. American descendants) whose families are from Texas being in the U.S. but are originally of Mexican descent. The city of Toronto has a Puerto Rican presence, except recent Latin American immigration has dwarfed their size and 1,000 is an underestimate, since I feel they are actually 10 times the number. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 08:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: When Napoléon first invented the term Latin America, he applied it to all persons inhabiting the Americas speaking Romance languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese), rather than Germanic Languages (English, Dutch). He explicitly considered the Québecois to be Latin Americans, as the French are Latin Europeans. Why are they not included here? samwaltz (talk) 00:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Québec as Latin

message: Is Latino Canadian more frequently used than Latin American Canadian, Hispanic Canadian, etc.?
If there is no one predominant term, perhaps Latin American Canadian would be the clearest name for the article, with the others being redirects. At least some of the cited sources use this term. --JWB (talk) 17:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Would you be willing to research it a little, please? Help us out. SamEV (talk) 22:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. How about a sampling of scholarly sources, books, academic papers, "Latino Canadian" organizations themselves? SamEV (talk) 22:51, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Thank you. I think you should take your pick between "Latin American Canadian" and "Canadians of Latin American descent" and move it. SamEV (talk) 00:23, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

text: P.S. I think "Latin Canadian" is highly disqualifiable as it raises the issue of whether "Latin" includes Francophone Canadians. "Hispanic" would similarly seem to lump in Spanish (Spain) Canadians. SamEV (talk) 00:27, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Previously, the main section suggested that Latin Americans were always considered a visible minority. The source given, however, indicates that "persons who gave mark-in responses of "White and Latin American", "White and Arab" or "White and West Asian" only with no write-in response classified as visible minority, n.i.e.; persons who gave a mark-in response of Latin American, Arab, or West Asian only, along with a European write-in response (e.g. French, German, Norwegian)" are not a visible minority (point 2). I changed the sentence to say that non-white Latin Americans are legally a visible minority. You're welcome to change it if you find a better way to phrase the idea conveyed in the source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gymast96 (talk • contribs) 23:04, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

message: We should move this to the name used by Canada "Latin, Central and South American Canadians" as "Hispanic" is a sub set in Canada. our stats ...best avoid American term that is not inclusive.Moxy- 18:30, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not necessarily opposed to the term Hispanic, but it's certainly not quite as well established in Canada as it is in the United States. See the sources in the previous section, for example. Also, the Canadian equivalent of National Hispanic Heritage Month is called Latin American Heritage Month. At the same time, I'm not convinced that anyone actually says "Latin, Central and South American Canadians" – what StatCan actually says is people of "Latin, Central and South American origins".

message: Hello! I was an editor who created the vast amount of sub-categories for certain Latin American Canadians and I'd like to see it back because since the 2021 Canadian Census has already commenced, and there's a new source for it, it's best to allow each sub-category to have it's own page, with viable links. I can't do everything and write each article!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiladelphiaWanderer34 (talk • contribs) 08:36, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
