What does the term “Hispanic” mean? Does everyone who calls themselves Hispanic come from the isle of Hispaniola? Is speaking Spanish a criteria?

I speak Spanish and come from central Texas from Scottish and Irish heritage. Am I Hispanic or just confused?

I consider myself an American (no hyphens required).

Traditionally, it means you hail from a country where the majority speak Spanish. Who knows what people mean when they use it nowadays.
