The concept of race in the US is mostly driven by skin color.
The "Hispanic" designation indicates a person who derives from a Hispanic culture, from one of the countries of the Hispanic Peninsula (Spain or Portugal) or from one of their former colonies where Spanish or Portuguese is still a major language. Such people include white appearing people with mostly European ancestry, black appearing people with substantial African ancestry, people of Native American ancestry with skin color often described in the past as "red," as well as the children of marriages mixing those groups.
