[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1081406, member: 45493"] You are correct, depending on how you look at it. "Latino" is obviously the male version of the two terms if you are talking about gender specifically.....but the male version of the word is always favored when talking about the entire set of people as a whole. Think of the word "people" when talking about 'men' AND 'women'. Kinda like that. This carries true with other words too...Maestro/Maestra, depending on the sentence it is used in, is talking about a male teacher OR a female teacher....yet if you want to refer to all the teachers at once, "maestros" would be used.
