I found this guy on a blog called "Blatino Sexy Dudes." I have been having a discussion with one of my friends about the term "blatino." He claims that blatino is a sexualized term, primarily used in porn and highly sexual spaces online to indicate a level of hypersexuality which combines both of the typical meanings assigned to Black men ("big back dick") and Latino men ("passionate lover") simultaneously.
My position is that "Blatino" simply means a Latino guy who is also Black (i.e. of African descent). While I agree the term is often sexualized, it doesn't have to always have sexual connotations.
The Urban Dictionary seems to agree with me. Here is their definition of "blatino."
blatino
1. An abbreviation for "black & Latino" used most commonly by young urban gay men of color; 2. A person, place,or thing that is Afro-Latino.
