Geographic based definitions from the US government for the census are not the same as cultural self identification.
Why would a French colony that gained independence identify themselves with the former Spanish and Portuguese colony label?

Maybe because it's on Hispaniola?
"Why would a colony of a Latin country feel like they're a colony of a Latin country" lol
Then again, I've heard a few Brazilians say they're not latinos.
Because french, spanish and portuguese are romance languages. You don't know this?
Cool. I can come up with a random person's opinion too. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/9/16/hispanic-haitians-exist-op-ed/
Hatians are Latino because Haitians are Latin American. Just like the inhabitants former British colony of Belize are Latino and the residents of the French colony in South America, French Guiana are Latino. Also, the people in the former Portuguese colony of Brazil are Latino.
yeah and all europeans are the same group of white caucasians right? their culture and opinions must be very unified!
go back to school
What are you even talking about?
Are French Guianans Latino? Are Belizeans Latino? Are you Latino if none of your ancestors are Spanish but all of them are Mayan? Are the people on the other half of the island that Haiti is on Latino? Do you become Latino of your parents are Haitian and they move to the Dominican Republic and you're born there?
Or are you suggesting that you can't be black and Latino? Because 60 million plus Afro-Brazilians would definitely challenge you on that one.
You don't say!
Interesting how you had nothing to say about Belize and French Guiana.
Also funny how people on the Haiti side of the island are, according to you, not Latino, but people on the Dominican Republic half of the exact same island presumably are, correct?
Is someone of Haitian ancestry that gets born in the Dominican Republic Latino?
