Can you just be like, "I'm from America but my family is from Latin America (or wherever)"? That seems like it'd clear up the confusion.
Also I guess it's kind of cool that America is diverse, but a lot of countries aren't like that. Like if you're "Japanese" then you're both ethnically Japanese and living in Japan, 99% of the time. So it's kind of a cool / interesting thing about America I guess? Maybe an opportunity to help people learn about a different part of the world?
