Oh, something I wanted to know: What qualifies as "hispanic"?

 

IDk cause all hispanics are different.

 

Generally the term "Hispanic" is used to refer to the culture and peoples comming from Hispanic America.  Meaning, any South American/Central American country would qualify, plus Puerto Rick since it was occupied by the Spanish until the Spanish-American war.  Here is a quote from Wikipedia:

"The term is now confined to refer to the culture and people of Spain plus the Spanish-speaking countries of Hispanic America. Additionally, countries or regions with a historical legacy from Spain, including the Southwestern United States and Florida; the African nations of Equatorial Guinea, Western Sahara and the Northern coastal region of Morocco; the Asia-Pacific nations of the Philippines, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands; may be considered to be a part of the Hispanosphere."

Anyone from those countries would be considered Hispanic. :)
