latina here and here is my breakdown:

Latino its a description of ethnicity, not of race - but a lot of latino people are mixed race, sometimes called mestizo. There are also wholly not white latinos, usually indigenous or black. (black latinos are often left out of representation but are not a small group.)

The part where it gets weird is that white latinos are often still discriminated against in the United States. It creates a very weird situation where even if a latino is white, people won't consider them white, socially.

So basically its... not a clear line.

yeah I have a friend who is a mixed race child from a central american background (living in europe) and she's mostly amerindian/black. I never thought of her as a Latina and she just calls herself "brown" (or various hot beverage related terms) and used to mostly identify with black people. though reestablishing contact with her family made her reconsider her stance recently and I've heard her refer to herself as a latina at one point.
Here in europe the term "latina" is just so much identified with Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, all these very white, spanish looking singers or actresses, so I guess she never saw herself as one of them, and most others including me were the same way...

Yeah, that description makes a lot of sense (and your weird part does indeed sound weird to me, but I know that's how it works). Thank you!
