I'm 1/8th Spanish, does that count as Hispanic?

According to the common application, and I quote,
"Are you Hispanic/Latino?



Yes, Hispanic or Latino (including Spain) > No"
Since when does being Spanish count as Hispanic? I mean if it does then I’ll fully exploit this, but I was wondering if there was a requirement as to how much of an ethnicity a person is? like with Native Americans I’m pretty sure a person has to be 1/8 to receive free college.
