The huge irony in @AOC claiming that all Latino people are somehow natives of the continental US is that she shares a last name with the most famous conquistador in history. But she doesn't seem like much a history buff so I guess I can't expect her to know that.
'Hispanic' or 'Latino' represents genetic admixture between indigenous American populations and Iberian/European colonizers; the actual % of Native American genes ranges very widely.

I have always wondered why the US has a category for "latino" or "Hispanic". No European would refer to a person from Spain in similar manner.

It’s a stupid category. Many South Americans are essentially European. Some are almost pure Indian. And many are a mixture. The strongly native-influenced Mexicans that happen to cross the American border do not represent the entirety of Latin America. It is not a race.

Puerto Ricans, Cubans( beside Chinese) and South Americans also have a African heritage. People from Central and South America used to call themselves Hispano-American. Latino-America was a made up tem ,a Napoleon´s trick, to make France part of the common heritage

And African. Hispanic is more broad than mestizo. Dominican are more mulatto than mestizo and yet are considered Hispanics.
