Is Portugal a Hispanic country?

First of all is important to stress that Latino is not a race, but in America specially in the USA Latino is informally and incorrectly understood as one.

Latino is then a cultural reference rather than a race. In this sense you will find in the world Asian, Black and White people that are Latinos. Latino word is derived from Latin the ancient language that is the root of the Romance Language group (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc...) and all people that speak it or has a cultural similarity with Latin culture then they are Latino.

Post this we can say Portugal is also part of a Latino Culture, but the people themselves are not Latinos in the sense of a race or in a comparison to South Americans. Generally speaking one can state that Portuguese people are Mediterranean Caucasian that is one of the branches of the Caucasian Race (aka White).

You will also find Northern Caucasians from the Celtic influence in Portugal. In Europe people from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc are refereed as Mediterranean or South Europeans when a reference to the physiognomy or culture is necessary.

In a gist Portuguese may be included in the Latino culture but are best described as Mediterraneans or South Europeans both as a reference to their Race as to a reference to their Culture.
