Are Quebecers latino?

Well to be a latino or "Latinoamericano" you have to first:

1. Be derivative of a nation or region in the Americas.
2. That country must primarily speak or a have a history speaking a romance language.

The most common latino countries are Hispanic (Spanish-speaking), with Brazilians speaking Portuguese and Haitians/French Guianans speaking French.

So would Quebecers be latino? Would they technically have to gain sovereignty from Canada to be classed a latino state? What do you think? (Keep in mind neither latino or Hispanic are ethnicities/races, but cultures with many different races).

Interesting... This could mean God Emperor Trump needs to build a second wal!?

Where did you get those two requirements...?

Latino (/læˈtinoʊ/ or /ləˈtinoʊ/)[1] is a term often used to refer to people with cultural ties to Latin America and people of nationalities within the bounds of Latin America, in contrast to Hispanic which is a demonym that includes Iberians and other speakers of the Spanish language as well as Brazilians and Latinos.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The term Latino can be used to refer to males or females, whereas the term Latina is used to refer to females only. The term, in a broader sense, can also mean any US citizen, particularly a white person, whose ancestors came from countries of the former Roman Empire. This includes people of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian descents, and not necessarily Latin American. But strictly speaking, in English the term Latino is almost always used exclusively for those from Latin America.

So to use your definition of "Latino" would also require number 3 "A US Citizen".

One definition does not equate to all of them...

Quebec has no cultural ties to Latin America.

The wikipedia article I linked has three definitions for latino:

is a term often used to refer to people with cultural ties to Latin America and people of nationalities within the bounds of Latin Americ

Quebec has none

OPs definition:

Quebec would only fall under this if Quebec was a US State.

But strictly speaking, in English the term Latino is almost always used exclusively for those from Latin America

Quebec is definitely not in Latin America.

Quebec would be a part of Latin America because any region in the Americas that speaks a romance language is a part of Latin America.

[Gamdwelf]

Quebec is the most Latin America.

[Shadowferal]

Quebec would be a part of Latin America because any region in the Americas that speaks a romance language is a part of Latin America.

By this logic that includes all of South America.

WTF is with you kids?

Latin America is any country or dependency that speaks a romance language. Quebec is neither a country nor a dependency.

South America is already universally accepted as Latin America.

All of South America is not neccessarily latin speaking. The Falklands and Suriname as two examples of Germanic speaking countries in South America.

Latin America is also not limited to South America as Mexico, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba and Puerto Rico are all a part of North America.

Um, yea that sounds about right, actually.

Well except for Guyana and Suriname (English and Dutch respectively). Also, TIL there is a dutch speaking country in South America.

This was something I talked about in the OP. If Quebec were to seperate from Canada then would they be a Latin American country?

I can understand and kind of agree now with your argument. Btw, is Quebec still trying to gain independence? (A little off topic I know).

[Puupi]

No, just no. You are trying too hard. I don't even have a clue what is it you are trying, but you are overdoing it.

[Gamdwelf]

With Quebec being such a large region, and French being recognised throughout Canada. I think all of Canada could be considered Latin America.

Honestly we should refer to Canadians as Latinos.

Then probably yes, but I think "Latin America" is pretty set in stone now, I'd be surprised if it were to change.

And not really, there's still a minor separatist movement but they are a small minority. The Bloc Quebecois (the separatist party) only has 10 out 338 seats in the House of Commons (Quebec is responsible for 78 seats in total). Provincially I don't think any separatist party has seats in the National Assembly.

Ironically the French were the ones who contributed to the origin of the term Latino.

I honestly feel like there's going to be more balkanization or division amongst nations in the future (in general I mean).
