Hispanic is one of those really funny ones. A catchall for people with wildly different backgrounds. My wife and I are both eligible for to tick that box due to Spanish ancestry, but everyone understands that it’s basically a proxy for mestizo. I’ve heard that a lot of African-descended people from Spanish colonies do identify as Hispanic though. I don’t know about Indios.
