Paris is part of Europe, yet it has its own forum. That does not make the "Europe" forum title incorrect.

Basically, the forum title for a large geographic area means that it covers everything in that area which does not have its own forum. If Israel or Egypt were to get its own forum tomorrow, the "Middle East" forum title would remain unchanged.
So you suggest that "Latin/Central America" forum covers general issues of this area. According to this logic, though, it would be better to drop the "Central" from the forum title, as Latin America is the most encompassing geographical area.
