Fine.
Does “Hispanic” also embody the mass in-migration of those fleeing the Holocaust, and landing on the shores of America (i.e. South America)? If it does, the OP’s friend’s experience and identity may be wrapped up in that “Hispanic” social epoch. Whether or not the mother is a Colombian national, the exile is part of her. That she happened to be also born in Colombia puts the friend into this arbitrary “legal” classification/grouping.
