I am 68, and yes Hispania was Roman but the use of hispanic in the USA didn’t start until the PC 60s rolled around

It was used back in 1889 in the context of spanish speaking parts of the American hemisphere. Anyone that studied latin would understand it instantly back then, or today.

It was co-opted by the hippies around '72.
