<p>Hispanic means a person from a Spanish speaking culture, regardless of race. One needn't have any Amerindian or Spanish ancestry to be Hispanic. According to Mexican and U.S. definitions, a mestizo(mixed Indian/European) Mexican like most immigrants who come to the US isn't any more Mexican/Hispanic than ex-President Vicente Fox who's German/Basque, or even someone with no Spanish ancestry at all.</p>

<p>so, do the "119,829 Hispanic or Latino Americans (who) identified as being of Asian ancestry alone"(from wikipedia) apply for those?</p>

<p>Rule of thumb (or mine anyway) is that if you are raised in the hispanic culture, speaking spanish, living as a latino etc. and you are of spanish descent, you are hispanic.
It's just like someone can be Mexican but be in the US so they are American citizen, someone can be Japanese but live in Mexico so they are a Mexican citizen. However your race isn't the country you're in, its your ancestory.
That's my opinion anyway. :)</p>
