Please keep your racist filth to yourself - and stay away from misc-education.language.english where this discussion is totally OT anyway.

As I understand it "Hispanic" is the usual American term for Spanish-speaking people - it means simply "of Spanish-speaking origin".

OK, you've proven that you are just as racist as "Orak Listalavostok." It is a good thing that no one has selected you as the spokesperson for all Spaniards. Go away.

Spaniard:

Ohh, really?. So then We shall call all English Speakers as "Anglos". For example, Anglos are: English, Irish, Jamaicans, NIgerians, Hindus, Bangladesh, ... All of them are Anglos. I´m quite sure an Englishman will be happy to consider that the Jamaicans and Hindus are "Anglos", "Britihs", or even!!! "English" as them.
I din´t state anything racist. I just wrote the plain truth. Those people from south of the border are as """Hispanic""", "Spanish", "Spaniard" as a Nigerian is an "Anglo","English", "British". Are you able to understand that?.
Saying: "We don´t like those people is not racist". They don´t like us either and it is not considered racist. Why is that Mr. hipocrite??.

Saying that you don't like certain people is neither racist nor bigoted. Saying that you don't like an entire group of people is bigotry. Assuming that all of your group dislikes all of their group is further indication of bigotry.
Unless, of course, you're referring to fans of soccer teams.

We've already got a word for that: "anglophones". "Hispanic" is a catch-all term in the USA that means that someone has a name like Gonzalez or some distant relatives with a Spanish-language name or comes from a Spanish-speaking country or has a distant relative that comes from a Spanish-speaking country. Don't sweat it, dude. We know that only people from Spain are Spaniards.
By the way, what's the easy one-word adjectival form for people who speak Spanish? There's also "francophone" for French-speaking.

You are deliberately misusing an English word for personal reasons here. Most decent anglophones don't deliberately misuse the English word "Hispanic" in that way.

You aren't a native anglophone and don't live in an anglophone country, so you really have little to no standing to complain about how we use our language. You use yours the way you are used to using it and we will use ours the way we are used to using it. f you don't understand what we mean when we speak English, that is your problem, not ours.

The "plain truth" can be racist or not racist, depending on the content. Truth has never been a defense for saying things like "Your mother is a ***".
[nq:1]Those people from south of the border are as """Hispanic""", "Spanish", "Spaniard" as a Nigerian is an "Anglo","English", "British". Are you able to understand that?.[/nq]
They speak Spanish. Can you understand that? That makes them "Hispanic" by definition. If you don't like that definition, ask the anglophone lexicographers to change the definition for you. See how far that gets you.
[nq:1]Saying: "We don´t like those people is not racist". They don´t like us either and it is not considered racist. Why is that Mr. hipocrite??.[/nq]
If who you mean by "us" is anything like you, then we can understand why they don't like you either. It's not racist at all right it's just good judgment.
Better clean the froth from your chin and jowls, Señor Perro Rabioso.

Lying rascist ***. The speed with which you contradict yourself rivals your willingness to post racist garbage.

I am able to understand what you claim, but you are factually incorrect. "Hispanic", in English, does not mean "Spanish".

From MWOnline:
Main Entry: His·pan·ic
Pronunciation: hi-'spa-nik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin hispanicus, from Hispania Iberian Peninsula, Spain of, relating to, or being a person of Latin American descent living in the U.S.; especially : one of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin
You might also note that Caucasian Americans whose first language is English are often called "Anglos" regardless of their ancestry.
