You are incorrect, and as asked I will show you the way. Hispanic doesn’t come the Island of Hispaniola, it comes from Hispania, the Latin term for what is now Spain.

If you want to see white hispanics, Spain is the place to go. Whites abound who are solely hispanic in ever form of culture. Hispanic has never been limited to the mestizo’s we think of when we think of Mexico.

No, sorry but you are not correct. Hispania comprises the two individual Countries Portugal and Spain, Hispaniola is made up of The Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Hispanic is derived from the conquest of Spaniards and Italians and their prodigy.

My family, a royal one, is from Spain. I am not Hispanic.

Spanish yes, the politically correct Hispanic, no.

If you ever travel to Spain, I’d strongly advise against call the natives “Hispanics”. They don’t take kindly to that. A friend of mine travelled to Spain and was set straight rather quickly when he used the term “Hispanic”. His Spanish friend said,”We are not Hispanics. We are Spaniards and Europeans. Hispanics are the people in the Americas; Central and South, having some Spaniard or Portguese or even some Italian blood but are mixed with the Native Indians and or black slaves.”

I once worked with a gal from the Dominican Republic. She was stunningly beautiful and her father was an MD and her mother a college professor back in the DR. She absolutely hated the Hatians BTW and considered herself White or what she called a “High Hispanic”, meaning of mostly Spanish ancestry. And she was married to a blonde haired blue eyed Norwegian.

You are correct. I just didn’t want to get too deep into the terminology of “Hispanic.”
