What do you think the term Latino means, and why don’t you want to identify as one?

This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).
This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).

There’s no such thing as not having a culture, nor such a thing as being “culturally neutral”.

I think you don’t need to identify as anything. You’re you and you’re doing it well. Good luck in all you choose to do!
