Anybody from any Latin American country can describe themselves as Latino, so if anything, it is an umbrella term for a number of nationalities, neither a race or an ethnicity.
You can be white and Latino, or black and Latino, or indigenous and Latino or mestizo and Latin, the same way you could be any of those things and “American” (as in born in the United States).
