    No Wikipedia explicitly states that people from Spain are not included; "The term commonly applies to Spaniards and Spanish-speaking populations and countries in Hispanic America and Hispanic Africa" I.e. not mainland Spain.

      “The term commonly applies to Spaniards AND…” This is not a complex sentence.

        A friend in college from Spain had way too much fun pretending to be stereotypically hispanic and would insist that he had more a claim to it, being from Hispaniola, after all.

          To be pedantic, if he was from Spain, he would be from Hispania[1] not Hispaniola[2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispania https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispania [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispaniola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispaniola
