It's not your fault. I don't know who invented this term, could've been the russians, didn't research too much into it.
In any case it's wrong.

If you go to Chile or Uruguay you'll see the same exact shit that you will see in Spain, for instance, or Italy.
Latin countries are as latin as Italy or Spain. Western degeneracy caused by jewish propaganda runs rampant, everywhere. Maybe with the exception of Paraguay, but that's a special case.
