Unfortunately, Latin America is not considered the west by US and a lot of Europe. It shouldn't be hard to guess why.

Latin America is too brown to be from the west?

Argentina isn't very "brown".

Most of America doesn't know that. They equate Spanish with Mexico.

I mean most of Latin American is populated by descendent Spanish, and they have no issues with Spain being the “west” so I don’t think it’s race at all.
