When the Orange scumbag talks about languages being bad, its beyond something about illegal immigration now. This is strictly racist and comes from the nazi playbook and you better watch out if you speak those languages, even if you were born in the country and have been there for generations. Be careful they may pick your language next!!

"During the last ten years writers from France, the United States and Spanish America, and, although rarely, also in other countries, have begun to use the terms Latin America, Latin American, for the old and proper terms Spanish America, Spanish American. A third term, Ibero America, Ibero American, is also used by recent writers. Which are the proper terms? Which should we use? In the following article I beg to discuss this matter briefly."
