Learning Latine is not a race

Growing up I racially Identified myself as Latine, but then I learned that it isn’t a race. This made me confused as to what I should identify as since I never considered myself white and neither did others. That is what lead me to learn that race is a social construct, but it shouldn’t be ignored since racist structures exist. Now I just identify by my ethnicity and nationality.
