    Where are you seeing “Latin America” - wait for it - as a continent, on this graph?

    It is to the left of North America, and to the right of Africa, itself after Asia and Europe. In other words, that entire line is the list of continents.

    This is known as the “legend”, which is placed there in order to explain the coloration. e.g. all Latin American nations (consisting of only Brazil & Mexico in this map of only the “biggest countries”) are purple, b/c ‘Latin America’ is colored purple in the legend. And Asian countries are green, USA is red, Africa is orange, European ones are blue.

    Do you see “Latin America” anywhere else, other than the legend? I tried & tried but could not…

    So mystery solved I suppose.

    If you were joking, that was not clear to me.
