Hi guys I’m going to be applying to colleges in two years, and my whole life my mom has been putting hispanic as my ethnicity, and I am Brazilian. My mom said there is some U.S. Law that defines Hispanic as belonging to central or South America. Hispanic is defined as from a spanish speaking country, but Brazil speaks portuguese and not spanish. I just wanted to know for college if it is legal for me to put Hispanic, because I dont want to lie on my application if Brazil isnt considered Hispanic. Also if you guys can post a source of that law or any proof that would be a greater helps. Thanks.
