Oh yes, I read that, and your definition was still wrong. A latino/hispanic, as you said before, is not someone who speaks Spanish. Someone who speaks Spanish (if you learned Spanish, would you be a latino? What about Brazilians, are they not latino?) is different from spanish descent. I didn't spell it out it before, because, Jesus, I thought you would have figured it out.
And you didn't show the definition for Spaniard so I guess that means you realize your definition was wrong.
So, now that this has dragged on, all my fault of course, back to my original point:
For me at least, when you use 'Spaniards' to refer to people from latin america, it just sounds ignorant because latinos are no where near being Spaniards -- which has a precise meaning of being a native or inhabitant of Spain. If you had even used 'Spanish' instead of 'Spaniard' it wouldn't have sounded so grating, since Spanish at least sounds a lot more ambiguous. Or if you had used 'Mexicans', still not exactly right but a whole lot closer.
