Tango was treated as "latin" because of its South American origins in a geographic rather than ethnic way. However, association with something successful may allow sharing some of that success.

Is tango a ballroom or Latin dance?
Ballroom dance generally refers to the waltz, foxtrot, tango, quickstep, and Viennese waltz. Latin dance, on the other hand, includes the cha-cha, samba, jive, paso doble, and rumba.
Where did tango originate from?
The tango evolved about 1880 in dance halls and perhaps brothels in the lower-class districts of Buenos Aires, where the Spanish tango, a light-spirited variety of flamenco, merged with the milonga, a fast, sensual, and disreputable Argentine dance; it also shows possible influences from the Cuban habanera.
