No. Your definitions are completely mixed up:

Hispanic is the term for people (regardless of ethnicity) who speaks Spanish. This includes Spaniards, Mexicans, Argentines or Chileans, but not people who speak other languages (e.g. Brazilians, who speak Portuguese).

Latino is the term for people from Latin America, which includes all people south of the United States within the Americas, such as Mexicans, Brazilians and Cubans, but it does not include Spaniards (who are from Europe).

People from most of the Caribbean and certain parts of northern and eastern South America have African ancestry. For example, almost half the population of Brazil could be considered African or mulatto (mix of European and African ancestry). On the other hand, countries such as Mexico mostly have a population with a mix of European and Native-American ancestry, known as mestizo. Other countries such as Venezuela, Chile or Argentina, are mainly populated by people with European ancestry.
