first of all, i don’t identify as latino, sorry!!! but anyway when i talk about mexico being treated the same way as canada, i mean, for example when it comes to prices, canada and usa have both of their dollars on the back of stuff, like if you bought a book in canada in the back it would say “10 usd/10 cad”, but no mexican currency? isn’t mexico also the neighbor and both nations have good ties?? it should be treated with the same level of important stuff
“Identify” can also be used objectively in that way.
OP means “My identity ≠ Latino”
More uncommon to use it that way nowadays but you could also say “I don’t identify as an American citizen” or “I identify as 15 years old” etc.
