Which group is left out of the US Census Bureau’s definition of "Latino” despite that individuals may identify as such?

Answer
A
people with origins in non-Spanish speaking Latin American countries
B
people with origins in a Spanish-speaking Caribbean Island nation
C
people with origins in Mexico who cannot speak Spanish
D
people with origins in Mexico who are bilingual

Explanation

The Census Bureau’s definition generally includes people with origins in Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, including Mexico and Spanish-speaking Caribbean nations. It excludes people whose origins are in non-Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, even though some individuals from those countries may identify as Latino. Therefore, the group left out is people with origins in non-Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.
