Lesson #1
What does the word “Hispanic” even mean? A: The word “Hispanic”pertains: to Spain" (especially ancient Spain) 1580s, from Latin Hispanicus, from Hispania "Iberian Peninsula," from Hispanus "Spaniard" (see Spaniard). Specific application to Spanish-speaking parts of the New World is from 1889. The term “Hispanic” is far older than the modern term “Latino” - a word which will be studied separately. Due to Spain’s colonization of the New World, the descendants of the “mestizaje” (mixture of Spanish, Native, and Slave)- were all considered to be Hispanic.

Lesson #2
Who is considered “Hispanic”?
A: “Hispanics”, before 1492, were exclusively people under the domain of the Christian Kingdoms of León, Castile, Aragon, and Navarre. Though the argument can be made that the birth of the Hispanic ethnos began with the marriage of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella- who united two distinct kingdoms into one. With the exploration and settlement of the New World, Spanish conquistadors had children with native women- creating an entirely new type of man. These men were breast fed be Native mothers and educated by Catholic priests. They grew up running and fighting - physically developing- in the New World, while their souls were exercised in Catholic liturgy and scripture. Their fathers were loved and esteemed, so much so that many of these young men sought to follow their father’s footsteps. And their fathers loved them- simply compare the Spanish treatment of their New World offspring to that of the Dutch or English. African slaves were latter brought to the new world and they too were mixed with Native and Spanish blood. Yet all these people were subjects of the King of Spain and were subjects of the Kingdom of God. Which brings us back to the question, who are “Hispanics”? Are they fair skinned and blond haired? Are they brown with almond eyes? Are they black with curly hair? Yes to all of the above. But in order to go deeper in this question, we must study the word “ethnos”

Here are some quotations from a German scientist/explorer who visited the Spanish empire and wrote about what he saw there:
