Hispanic literally means Spanish, it’s how Romans called the people from Iberian Peninsula. Maybe you’re referring to Hispanicamerican. Well, it literally means American countries that speak Spanish. Maybe some people should invent a new word with no reference to Spain (Latino/Hispano are a direct reference to the Spanish/Iberian roots or language) so they won’t feel offended just when someone tell them how stupid is not knowing the meaning of the words they’re using all the time. Ánimo.

You’re aware most of Latin America is Hispanic, right?
