Why are people called hispanic?

Hispanics refer to people who were once conquered/colonized by Spain, such as South America, and to a lesser extent, some African nations. They are not a homogeneous group but most speak Spanish and have absorbed some form of Spanish culture. They may or may not have Spanish ancestry but many if not most are mixed with natives, and some blacks. So Hispanics are often times seen as not being of the white race, although some are. It is rare these days to find a Hispanic of pure Spanish ancestry. Spanish people are not the same as Hispanics. Hispanics are usually mixed with non-caucasians over time, while Spanish are seen as European caucasian whites. Although it can be argued the Spanish themselves have some non-causacoid admixtures in them, such as the Moors who invaded, that gave them their darker coloring.A:Not all South American nations are Hispanic. Brazilians speak Portuguese, thus making them Lusophone.


Did Hispanics come from Asians?

Where did you get that from? Hispanics culturally came from the Spaniards with some minor stuff from Native Americans and Africans. Genetic-wise, they're a mix of European, Native American and Africans depending on the location. For example, Mexicans are mostly Native American and Spanish, Dominicans are a mix of all three with Spanish being the most predominant followed by African and minor Native American blood and Chileans having mostly European blood with some Native American. Asians had very minor influence on Hispanics although the Native Americans did come from Siberia but that was over 10,000 years ago.
