Can anybody sanely define what a “hispanic” is?

And how are they any different from other people of Latin-Mediterranean ancestry?

I think a Hispanic is a citizen of Hispaniola. (The island where Haitai and the Dominican Republic is located)

To the elite it's cheap labor that doesn't complain about things.

In my mind, "hispanic" is racist. To lump such diversity of ethnicities and origins into one category is an insult to their identities.

Besides that, Ted Cruz is sending a Christian message. Most people of South and Central American heritage come from Christian backgrounds. I'd think Ted Cruz's message just might resonate more than the exploitation of hispanics by the US ruling class does.

Hispanic refers to folks who ancestrally speak Spanish. My mother’s first language was Spanish even though she and her parents and grandparents were born in the US. She always told us she was Spanish, never Mexican but not to tell anybody? Her skin was white and people didn’t like Hispanics in those days.
She was afraid we’d face discrimination.

Richard Nixon's very own minority group.

I guess that it is easier to define what "not being a valid Hispanic" (according to those who say Cruz isn't)is:

If it ain't a low-life scum-sucking illegal wetback that thinks that America is its personal dumpster, and doesn't ever intend to become a responsible American (or any other) citizen, it isn't a "valid Hispanic".
