Latin Americans (Spanish: "latinoamericanos" , Portuguese: "latino-americanos" , French: "latino-américains" ) are the citizens of the Latin American countries and dependencies.
 Latin American countries are multi-ethnic, home to people of different ethnic and national backgrounds.
 As a result, some Latin Americans don't take their nationality as an ethnicity, but identify themselves with both their nationality and their ancestral origins.
 Aside from the indigenous Amerindian (aka Native American) population, all Latin Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries.
 Latin America has the largest diasporas of Spaniards, Portuguese, Black Africans, Italians, Lebanese and Japanese in the world.
 The region also has large German (second largest after the United States), French, Chinese and Jewish diasporas.
Asian Latin Americans are Latin Americans of East Asian, Western Asian, Southeast Asian or South Asian descent.
 Asian Latin Americans have a centuries-long history in the region, starting with Filipinos in the 16th century.
 The peak of Asian immigration occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries, however.
 There are currently more than four million Asian Latin Americans, nearly 1% of Latin America's population.
 Chinese and Japanese are the group's largest ancestries; other major ones include Arabs, Filipinos, Koreans, and Indians.
 Brazil is home to the largest population of Asian Latin Americans, at some 2.2 million.
 The highest ratio of any country in the region is 5%, in Peru.
 There has been notable emigration from these communities in recent decades, so that there are now hundreds of thousands of people of Asian Latin American origin in both Japan and the United States.
Latin American migration to the United Kingdom dates back to the early 19th century.
 However, up until the 1970s, when political and civil unrest became rife in many Latin American countries, the United Kingdom's Latin American community was not particularly large.
 Latin Americans in the UK are now a rapidly growing group consisting of immigrants from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.
 Large numbers of refugees and asylum seekers moved to the UK during the late 20th century, however, since the turn of the millennium, Latin Americans have been migrating to the UK for a wide range of reasons and at present the community consists of people from all walks of life.
 The UK is also home to British-born people of Latin American ancestry, as well as some Hispanic and Latino Americans.
 In recent years, Britain has also become one of the favorite European destinations for some of Spain's hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans who have acquired Spanish citizenship, seeking to escape their adopted country's prolonged economic crisis.
The Criollo (] ) is a term which, in modern times, has diverse meanings, but is most commonly associated with Latin Americans who are of full or near full pre-colonial Spanish descent, distinguishing them from both multi-racial Latin Americans and Latin Americans of post-colonial (and not necessarily Spanish) European immigrant origin.
 Historically, they were a social class in the hierarchy of the overseas colonies established by Spain beginning in the 16th century, especially in Hispanic America, comprising the locally born people of Spanish ancestry.
 Although "Criollos" were legally Spaniards, in practice, they ranked below the Iberian-born "Peninsulares".
 Nevertheless, they had preeminence over all the other populations: Amerindians, enslaved Africans and peoples of mixed descent.
White Latin Americans or European Latin Americans are Latin Americans who are considered white, typically due to European, or in some cases Levantine, descent.
 Latin American countries have often encouraged miscegenation, and even a small amount of European ancestry could entail significant upwards social mobility.
Sephardic Bnei Anusim (Hebrew: בני אנוסים ספרדיים‎ , ] , lit.
 "Children [of the] coerced [converted] Spanish [Jews]) is a modern term used to define the contemporary Christian descendants of estimated quarter of a million 15th-century Sephardic Jewish which were coerced or forced to convert to Catholicism during the 14th and 15th century in Spain.
 The vast majority of Conversos remained in Spain and Portugal, their descendants in both these countries numbering in the millions.
 The small minority of Conversos who did emigrate normally chose destinations where Sephardic communities already existed, particularly in the Ottoman Empire and North Africa, but also more tolerant cities in Europe, immediately reverting to Judaism.
 Although a few did their travel to Spanish America, doing so was particularly difficult since only those Spaniards who could certify no recent Muslim or Jewish ancestry were allowed to travel to the New World.
 Nevertheless, the constant flow of Spanish emigration to Latin America up until well into the 20th century has resulted to many Latin Americans having Converso ancestry, in the same way as modern Spaniards do.
The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly from Africa to the Americas, and then their sale there.
 The slave trade used mainly the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
 The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were Africans from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders (with a small number being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids), who brought them to the Americas.
 The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies especially were dependent on the supply of secure labour for the production of commodity crops, making goods and clothing to sell in Europe.
 This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires.
Afro-Latin Americans or Black Latin Americans refers to Latin American people of significant African ancestry.
 The term may also refer to historical or cultural elements in Latin America thought to have emanated from this community.
Afro-Chileans are citizens of Chile, descended from Africans who were brought to the New World with the arrival of the Spaniards toward the end of the slave trade.
Mestizo ( ; Peninsular Spanish: ] , Latin American Spanish , Philippine Spanish: ] ) is a term traditionally used in Spain, the Philippines, parts of Central America, especially in Belize and Latin America which originally meant a person of combined European and Amerindian or Pacific Islander descent, regardless of where the person was born.
 The term was used as an ethnic/racial category in the casta system that was in use during the Spanish Empire's control of their New World colonies.
 Nowadays though, particularly in Latin America, Mestizo has become more of a cultural term, with culturally mainstream Latin Americans regarded or termed as Mestizos regardless of their actual ancestry, and with the term "Indian" being reserved exclusively for people who have maintained a separate ethnic identity, language, tribal affiliation, etc.
 Consequently, today, the vast majority of Spanish speaking Latin Americans are regarded as Mestizos, although because of this newer, culturally based definition, this term cannot be taken as indicative of actual ancestry.
