The concept of "latin descent" was invented by Napoleon to justify his intervention in Mexico and referred to anyone from a country where the primary language was one descended from the Latin Language. This would include Spanish, Portugese, Italian, French, and Romanian, among others. In modern usage in the US, the term generally refers to those who come from the countries of South and Central America, where the primary latin languages are Spanish and Portugese, and is used to identify people likely to be or have been discriminated against (individually or as a group) and thus to be elligible for compensatory treatment. As a result the term is generally taken to refer mostly to Spanish and Portugese descended people
