ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Asian Latin American

Asians are people who come from countries like China, Japan, Korea, and many more. Latin Americans are people who come from countries in Latin America like Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba.

Sometimes, there are people who have ancestry (or family history) from both parts of the world! These people are called Asian Latin Americans.

This means that their family members could come from both Asia and Latin America. They might look like they come from one place or the other, or they might have a blend of features from both places.

Asian Latin Americans might have different traditions and cultures that come from both sides of their family. For example, they might celebrate holidays or eat certain foods that come from their Asian heritage AND their Latin American heritage.

It's really cool that people can have such a diverse background and be a part of different cultures!
