Hispanic means you come from the “new world” Spain I.e. central and South America. It’s a distinctly separate Spanish from European Spaniards because of the intermixing with natives which gives Hispanics their unique culture. It’s actually really interesting to learn about

Yeah it’s a pet peeve of mine too. The language you speak does not change your race.

You’re describing Latino, which is New World and includes Brazilians/NW Portuguese as well. Hispanic just refers to Spanish speaking places and does include Spain.

You’re correct. That’s why there are places like Equatorial Guinea, for example, that are Hispanic but not Latino.
