Am I considered hispanic?

Question

My family are of Spaniard (SPAIN) origin. We are dark featured and have olive skin. We also have a bit of Adai Indian in us (if you do not know what Adai Indians are look them up they are from Louisiana and are part of Spaniard culture in LA).

My relatives speak Spanish, but only when needed.

Answer 1

Great answer from mikey! Noticing that "hispanic" and "latino" seem to be used interchangeably in North America, I had occasionally wondered if there were nuances in the meaning of the terms.

Answer 2

I think you would be spanish not hispanic.

Answer 3

Yes Hispanic means direct origin in Spain. are you from the Isleno Hipanic culture of Lousiana
