So can an Italian be considered Latino only by being born in Argentina and then immigrating to the USA? Then magically he is considered Latin (or Latino) while his fellow Italians born in the USA are not?

I used to work with a girl from Columbia; blonde hair and blue eyes, who played up her minority ethnicity for all she could milk it for on job applications and school enrollment.
It's all about shared ethnicity because, you know, a dirt-poor Mestizo farm laborer in California so much in common culturally with a blue-eyed, square-jawed lawyer in Montevideo, Uruguay.

For purposes of affirmative action, yes. For general day-to-day not so much. As far as I know, no one has suggested Argentinian-born but-Italian-blood Pope Francis is a Latino.
