While I agree that there are certain features that are more typical of our originary nations (be it from the Aztec-Mayan cluster, Taínos, Tupís, Quechuas, Mapuches - and even then, those features vary wildly depending on the nation); and that the huge majority of us will not EVER pass as white (I certainly don't, and I'm quite proud of that!), not even while briefly sighted... There's no such thing as "this is how an authentic Latino looks".

First: Latin America is damn huge. Second: We're mutts. Our firsts nations were colonized and abused by the Spaniards (or Portuguese, French or English), got mixed with them; and then a lot of areas on coastal zones got a big deal of black genes due to the bloody slave trade. And then we got immigrants from Asia (mostly Middle East, Chinese and Japanese colonies) - but also from empoverished whiteys running away from Europe in the XIX century that also contributed a lot--- idk. Cultural and racial identity in Latin America is hard even for us; but on the other hand, we usually dislike being typecasted. Every iteration of Carlos I've seen could plausibly be Latino! And believe me, I've seen every Pantone for his skin color. So hearing every time "he's not dark enough!1!" is quite weird for us.
