Hispanics arent from Spain bro. Those are white Europeans. The white spainish europeans went to south america and banged the incans and the mayans and made them hispanics.
And the ones that didnt? You obviously havent traveled much. Argentina? Cuba? Uruguay? Chile? There is a distinct difference between the mixed people with significant native american heritage and those that are european.
I've traveled plenty. The spaniiards banged the indiginous cuban people and made them hispanics too. and the chileans.
It was half a point, half quoting a joke. "Spanish people" are from Spain, no matter what 'race' they are. Calling someone from Mexico or Salvador "Spanish" is ridiculous.
There is very little native heritage in Cuba. Most of them died very early on. Unlike mexico where they had a full blown civilization Cuba has 10 guys in a hut. I am cuban and i only have 2% black and 2% native. My father has 0% native. Sure there was some banging but it wasnt the same everywhere. Plenty of people kept the mingling to a minimum just like it happened in North America.
In cuba the native culture is almost not recognized or celebrated. There is some random native poet they slap here or there and thats it. I grew up with bullfighters portraits in my living room and flamenco music. Lot of us dont see spain with great fondness unlike those more native heritage that see Spain as the oppressive conqueror.
Though regardless i’m used to be thrown into that basket already. Had never heard the term “hispanic” until i got to the US. Don’t blame you , it is a product of your circumstances.
