The term Hispanic actually means white, and should really just be reserved to identify Spanish descendants. Black African descendant and Native American people aren't Hispanic. Only part of my ancestry is Hispanic, and by just saying Hispanic I am not recognizing my African and Native American heritage/ancestry.

Hispanic can have many meanings, linguisticall and racially, the first can mean Spanish-speaking people or Spanish people.Also can have a cultural meaning as people who live an Hispanic culture.
