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.

Not only cleanliness of the skin, the hair, the teeth, the nails, and the clothing is necessary, but also cleanliness in all our habits. By this means we shall avoid many diseases which are entirely due to dirt of various kinds. The old and excellent definition that dirt is matter in the wrong place suggests that it should be removed; and when we remember that this dirt may consist of irritating particles of minerals in the form of dust, or of poisonous chemicals, and, more fatally, of disease germs, we shall be greatly impressed with the necessity of being clean.
