Which means, people from Honduras, Nicaragua, PR, Salvador, Colombia, etc, we refer to them as Latins, not Spanish.
Actually, we also use Hispanic, because I believe Hispanic and Latino are synonyms.
It is really common, even for american people (including my wife, born and raised in USA) to use Latin expression and word instead of Spanish.
Now, your analogy for Latin rhythms does not perfectly fit here. Because Latin People is usually refer to people from Latino America. But Latin Music can be Salsa, but with English Lyric.

I know it's off-topic too but... which is your point? I don't understand it, it's not a tease. The previous message said exactly that. And Spanish is my first language and I don't talk about Spanish people if they come from Peru, Colombia or Honduras.
