I know that I'm not latino but Americans claim that I'm one.

I'm from the tiny central American country Belize. The other day according to some Americans that I met online they say that I'm latino because I live in the same region as other latinos even if I Iive in Belize which is an Anglophone country. I do speak Spanish but not at the same level as someone living in an Hispanic country as here in Belize there are very few bilingual schools to teach us at that level. Thanks to the internet I've picked up some vocabulary from other countries The definition of Latino confuses me in the U.S it's used as an ethnic group but in LATAM is use as a race.
