Is there a difference? Hispania is the Roman word for the Iberian peninsula. We know that today as Spain. That is the root for hispanic.

Words have meanings and history.

Sorry, but hispanic was a word coined by liberals in order to racify all people of Spanish origin. Instead of calling illegals Mexican, which most of them are, they started using hispanic to take the heat off of Mexico. I know, I was alive when they started doing it. It is just one more example of PC rum amok.
