The problem is that the South America box says "excluding Brazil" in parenthesis.

That's because Brazil is not included in the list of places of origin that fit the current federal definition of "Hispanic." See the links from the first few posts in this FAQ thread (into which your question thread was merged) for official definitions. The college forms have changed this year because of a new federal regulation, and all the definitions have been the same for years.
