I’m not saying you sound angry at me, you sound angry at your own heritage. Latina is the female of Latino, you said you’re not a son, so the assumption is that you’re a daughter. Yes, there’s nothing biological, there’s also nothing biological in being a Mexican or an Argentinian, but regardless of how you feel about it you’re still a Mexican and I’m still an Argentinian, nothing racist about that. You might not identify ad Mexican, but you are, and others will identify you as such, there’s nothing wrong nor right with being a certain nationality or culture, you are Mexican and you are Latino, you don’t have to be a stereotype of either, nor do you need to agree with what others Mexicans or Latinos think about anything.

You keep saying you like to stay neutral, but you grew up in Mexico from what you told, so your neutral is different from mine, and it’s different from an Irish or Italian. Culture is in everything, a food that you might consider weird is someone else’s favourite breakfast, e.g. toast with beans in the UK, and where you grew up informs a lot of what you consider neutral.
