1	Tropes about Hispanic and Latin countries, people, and culture. "Hispanic" and "Latin" are defined here as anything influenced by the cultures of Spain and Portugal. Outside of the Iberian Peninsula, these tropes most prominently apply to Latin America.

3	Please note that while "Hispanic and Latino" is often treated as a specific ethnic/racial category in the United States, this is actually a very broad generalization. The many different nations of Latin America are culturally and ancestrally diverse; including white people (originating from both Iberia and other European regions), indigenous Amerindians, black Africans, and even Asians; and many Latin American people are a mixture of two or more of these aforementioned groups.
