Talk:Hispanic

Are Dutch and Belgians "Hispanic"?
Because they belonged to the Spanish Empire about the same time most Spanish American colonies did, and following Anglo's logic, they should be called Hispanics as well.

 * Please provide a reliable source that they are considered hispanic. ~ GB fan 20:26, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Brazilians
"Brazilians may identify as Latin-Americans, but refute being considered Latinos or Hispanics" - What is the basis for this claim (It's contrary to what one Brazilian-Jew says:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm521AmMLX8 ca. 53.:30.) Kdammers (talk) 20:16, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Proposal: deletion of the entire "Spanish-speaking countries and regions section"
A list of this is already on the Hispanophone article. Notably, I am also questioning the relevance of the ethnic/racial demographics included in the section. Some parts like the whole FS of Micronesia stuff is even less relevant and belongs in an article covering the influence of the Spanish Empire or whatever. As a reminder, the article is supposed to address "people, cultures, or countries" dealt with by the term "Hispanic". Being that this talk page is obviously not very active, I'll wait a while if anyone wants to give any input. If no one objects or no one bothers to respond, I'll do the big chop.

Inclusion of ethnic designation in lead
@Mechanical Keyboarder You and I have a dispute over an edit I made to the article:

In some contexts, especially within the United States, "Hispanic" is used as an ethnic or meta-ethnic term.

In order to avoid an edit war, I am going by what the community recommends and bringing the dispute to the talk page, so we can settle this reasonably. Evaporation123 (talk) 03:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Parallel designations
Hello,

to use the word precedence case basic to the United States I would like to know: which words corresponding to Hispanic do exist? Sarcelles (talk) 22:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
