First of all, Latin(o) is NOT a race.

Latin(o) is a category that lumps Latin speaking people.

Thus, people who speak a Latin derived language.

The original Latins were originally the Romans, that made a diaspora during the Romanization/Latinization of Europe.

Hence, modern day countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Romania.

If you were referring to the people of Latin America as Latinos, you are wrong about the whole subject.

The people of Latin America are NOT racially Latin(o) nor ethnically related to the Latins of Europe.

Latin Americans such as Mexicans, Central and South Americans are racially descendants of the Native-Americans, such as Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, etc.

This being said...

We have the Latins of Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Romania).

These are racially White/European and culturally Latin.

Then...

We have the Latins of America (Mexicans, Central and South Americans).

These people are racially Native-American, but culturally Latin.

As for Arabs...

Arabs look nothing alike Latin(o)s. Neither from Europe or America.
