I had a good friend who was Spanish. His grandmother was so proud of him for being a Naval Officer. Then he married a Mexican girl and all his pictures disappeared from grandma's house.

As I recall, the two major systems for profiling ethnicity in America include "Latino" or "Hispanic" but definitely don't break out "Spanish".
