You "look" Latin American or "look like" Latin American? What's the difference? What is correct?

Are there exceptions you Americans and others use?

Are "You look Latin American" and "You look like Latin American" correct sentences or are they misformulated?

Tnx you guys!

"Latin-American" is an adjective, so you can "look" but not "look like." "Look like" would require a noun, as in "You look like a snappy dresser." [Snappy is also an adjective.]

"You look Latin American" is correct since the noun that the adjective applies to is "you."
