The meme is correct. OP is wrong. It can be genetics, becaus your parents were from there but it’s also a cultural thing, if you feel like it, you may be it. There’s noone stopping you from it.
OMB defines “Hispanic or Latino” as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin (also known as ethnicity).
If your family isn’t Latino and you don’t have live in a Spanish culture, you’re not Latino. You’re certainly not Latino because you “love hard”.
The person in the tweet is American so I used the American census definition. I’m pretty confident any reputable source doesn’t count “loving hard” as a valid reason to identify as Latino.
Obviously the “loving hard” part is dumb, but I hope you see the irony on posting this tweet and then citing for the definition of “Latino” a website from a US institution

So the definition of what “Latino” is comes from… the US institutions?

Welcome to modern liberalism where nothing means anything.
