It would be logical to assume she is to,as well she is obviously of other ethnicity also
i am Brazilian and i consider my self Latina since my family came from LATIN America
that is pretty awesome i often wondered if brazilians considered themselves latino because you guys are awesome!
i think the point was where u came from before brazil thats in question. latino is only a culture. only natives were there from the start. and most of the brazilians are either european or some white/black mix. question is what. and if ure like 4th,5th generation brazilian chances are u dont know. and if u moved to USA from brazil then ure totally clueless about prior origin other than brazil cuz americans usually dont know where the hell they came from after 2,3 generations :).
Brazilian is not a ethnicity
