Hispanic is man from Spain. (Not from Mexico, Honduras, Venezuela...)

No, untrue.

The book definition of Hispanic is "Spanish Speaking" from all those places. This is based on the US Census here. I don't care what YOU think it is, I'm going by our own US Census. Each time there has been a census (every ten years since the beginning of the country) there have been definitions assigned to help determine the lineage of people.

This term is no longer directly related, at least not here in the US, to those from Spain alone. Rather any cultural connection.

Unfortunately, while I AGREE with you that it SHOULD be ONLY related to someone from the Iberian Peninsula, it isn't and it's a cultural thing. Just like this nonsense about "African-American".

Sorry. You are either American.. or you are African. You are not both. You are either Korean, or you are American. You are not both. You, are Italian... because you live in Italy. You are not something you aren't.

I am "American". Just like Ryan, Mal, Luke, Backstop, and everyone else that was born and lives here.
