Brazilian Americans are predominantly white especially in the northeast, can resemble white Cuban Americans. Cape Verdeans are mainly mixed mulattos similar to the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans.

I agree with your point. Technically, they arent. But a lot will identify or assimilate in with Latino culture

Maybe it’s true I don’t know many Brazilians. But Cape Verdeans really don’t and should be excluded from this. They’re African immigrants who speak a Portuguese/West African Kriola who’ve been in Southern New England for 150 years-+ they share as much with Black Americans as they do Dominicans. The few famous Cape Verdeans that do exist usually go out as Black Americans, not Latinos..

(Boo Boo Andrade, Left Eye, Amber Rose, Pooch Hall, Blu Cantrell, Tavares, Horace Silver, Michael Beach, Benzino, Ryan Gomes). I have Cape Verdean extended family, they’re pretty thoroughly assimilated in Black American (Bostonian) culture.

Baltimore doubled its Latino population in the last ~10 years. City currently has ~34k and growing

Yeah absent certain cultural similarities, Cabo Verdeans aren't Latinos by any stretch.
