Do Sephardic Jews from Spain or Portugal consider themselves Hispanic or Jewish in America?
Sephardic Jews identify as "sephardim," the Hebrew term for Spanish Jewry. Sephardim, by definition, trace their roots back to the Iberian peninsula - Spain and Portugal. The Sephardim identify as jews, not hispanics. "Hispanic," to the best of my knowledge, intimates that one is not only of Spanish descent, but Christian as well. Hispanics are anyone who holds a cultural identity with the Iberian peninsula. There are Jewish people in Latin America that are of Ashkenazi origin, but they are still considered Hispanic. Hispanic is an umbrella term that is used to emcompass many people. If a Sephardic Jew feels a strong Hispanic identity, they can choose to identify with the term.

This variety of locales has led to some differences in customs, but not in the Torah-laws themselves.See also:Why_did_the_Diaspora_begin

What is a Sephardic Jew?
Sephardic Jews (Sephardim) were the Jews from Spain and Portugal. After the Muslim conquest of Spain in the eighth century, many Jews fled to Spain in order to escape persecution in Christian Europe, knowing that they would be well-treated under Islamic rule. They became known as Sephardim (Spanish Jews). By the fourteenth century, Spain was once again back under Christian rule and many Jews were converted to Christianity. The remaining Jews were finally expelled from Spain in 1492, and resettled in Islamic Northern Africa and the Middle East. Many of them were absorbed into existing Mizrachi (Arab Jew) communities, while others retained their separate identity as Sephardic Jews. Since the establishment of modern Israel, both Mizrachi and Sephardic Jews have been encouraged to identify simply as Sephardic Jews.
