The use of the word "Latino" is inappropriate in the article’s context. What is the technical purpose of such criteria of classification? The author (Cristina Peri Rossi) is Uruguayan, and that is a distinctive biographical fact. The “Latino label” appears to be useful to a certain group of individuals (most of them from the US), whose main activity is to classify people into pseudo distinctive ethnic/racial/cultural categories.--128.205.184.190 19:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
