The term Hispanic is not a race or a classification, it is a cultural name that people from Mexico and South America have adopted. Everyone born to people that came from Mexico or South America call themselves Hispanics. Anyone born to at least one person that calls themselves Hispanic can also call themselves Hispanic.

It is also now common for a person who married a hispanic or grew up in a heavily hispanic influenced area to call themselves hispanic after becoming part of the culture.

Hispanics are also those who came from people living in the states that were taken from Mexico after the Mexican American war.

Latino is also another cultural name that means the same thing as Hispanic.

The majority of Hispanics in the United States are of Mexican origin, followed by those of Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Salvadoran descent. Mexican Americans make up the largest portion of the Hispanic population, with a significant presence in states like California, Texas, and Florida.
