I see both used but which one is preferable? Does it depend on which country you come from? What do you use?

Thanks!

what I noticed, most of my high school born mexican professors would say america latina and latinos we say latino america haha ... well I dont believe that either one is wrong but thats what I believe ... and what I have heard from the spanish speakers ...

agreed
Yeah, it seems to roll off the tongue a bit easier, probably because it is very similar to Latin America in English.
