It's not used to describe people from Spain.

Used or not, it's the truth and deifnition. Spanish people are hispanic, hispanic people are not necessarily spanish.

dude, just google "hispanic" and save us both some time.

First result:

"The term Hispanic (Spanish: hispano or hispnico) broadly refers to the people, nations, and cultures that have a historical link to Spain. It commonly applies to countries once under colonial possession by the Spanish Empire following Spanish colonization of the Americas, parts of the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, principally what are today the countries of Hispanic America where Spanish is the predominant or official language and their cultures are heavily derived from Spain although with strong local indigenous or other foreign influences."

The people of Spain are called Spaniards. What Spaniard refers to themselves as Hispanic?

I didn't think it was racist at all until that part where Chris puts on blackface and starts shucking and jiving

Again, Spaniard is not a race.

The first result is actually the google definition which says:

adjective
1.
relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Central and South America.

Let's look at the wiki entry you cited though:
The term Hispanic (Spanish: hispano or hispnico) broadly refers to the people, nations, and cultures that have a historical link to Spain.

Think real hard now: do you think Spain has a historical link to Spain? ::thinking::

Spain is the origin, it can't have a link to itself. The term is CLEARLY meant for countries that have influence from Spain, especially in the Americas.

Find a Spaniard who refers to themselves as Hispanic. You used a word incorrectly and ignorantly, just own up to it. "But the technical definition...!" Lol

fucking LMAO. So it's used to describe people of spanish descent but spanish people don't count.

No dude, you're absolutely straight up 100% wrong and you're the one who won't admit it. The definition says "relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Central and South America", there's nothing to argue.

I understand that as an american you guys wrongly use it to describe "people from spanish speaking countries in america" but that's not what the word means, no matter how much you whine about it. Maybe in a few years the word will change meaning from enough people using it wrong but for now get rekt and stfu.

Lol, doubling down on ignorance.

Hispanic is used to refer to people of Spanish decent, not people from Spain.

Find a Spaniard who refers to themselves as Hispanic. You won't.

You are wrong.

LOL the fucking irony. From the Terminology section of the wiki page you linked yourself:

Hispanic is used to refer to modern Spain, to the Spanish language, and to the Spanish-speaking nations of the world, particularly the Americas,[17][18] Pacific Islands and Asia, such as the Philippines[19] and Guam.

There is no way around this, dude, you're literally arguing against definitions that's how stubborn your are.

It is not used to describe the people.

Derp.

People from Spain are called Spaniards. Not Hispanics.

You called people from Spain "Hispanic". That is not what they are called. You are wrong.

Let it soak in for a moment before you waste my time with another incorrect response.

I remember laughing at the notion of people searching for racism in anything and everything where it wasn't

But here we are today, where the social media mob declares everything and everyone that they don't like and doesn't fall in line behind them to be racist, and any facts contrary to the Oppression Olympics and its Professional Victim competitors and Recreational Outrage cheerleaders are brushed aside and ignored (after calling whoever presented these facts a racist, of course.)

I like how you conveniently left out this part:

"Hispanic originally referred to the people of ancient Roman Hispania, which roughly comprised the Iberian Peninsula, including the contemporary states of Spain, Portugal, and Andorra, and the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar."

"Originally"

Do you understand that it isn't today? It is archaic as hell.
