Luis says...

i mean puerto rico, cuba and dominican republic are not even in latin america.

There in caribbeans, but are consider latinos for a few reason.

There mixed with native indians and spaniards, They speak spanish and they look like most people in south america.

I mean haiti doesn't resemble any of this.

Dear individual; I gave you the wiki site because it was convenient and in this case accurate. There are various books out there that support this understanding of Haiti as part of Latin America, including any older version World Fact Book or Worl > >
