Fan Casting Latino Is Brown in Sort by Tropes

There exists a stereotypical perception in North American media that all of Latin America is composed of a single race of olive-skinned, raven-haired folk of mixed European and Indigenous descent. Thus, if a work features many Latino characters, most if not all look this way, or characters will think they do before being corrected by an actual Latino character. In real life, this is a specific background ("Mestizo"note in Hispanic America and "Caboclo" or "Mameluco"note in Brazil), and Latin America comprises a variety of ancestries and ethnic groups, similar to Anglo America, making the region one of the most racially diverse in the world.
