Well Hispanic isn't a racial term it refers to a linguistic heritage. Iberian would be the correct racial term. Or mestizzo if you want to get more messy with it depending on the individual.

Regardless. Hispanics are white. Literally white colonizers.

No, you are using left wing bullshit arguments designed to dismantle something that the left wing does not like.

You don't get to redefine words or demand that only your words are valid. Hispanic refers to the native people's of the colonized world, many of whom have Spanish blood in them. What defines them is their native bloodlines.

That is how it has been used since the word was invented.

We already have a word for the natives. Natives.

That's not the definition of Hispanic. You wouldn't consider the US plains Indians to be Hispanic.

Hispanic refers specifically to Spanish speaking populations of the America's. That's it
