<p>The OP has clearly stated that he is just Portuguese
he said “Under what category do Portuguese fall under? I have have been going to all different kinds of places trying to get definitions for Hispanic/Latino and Caucasian, yet I seem never to get a straight answer. What ethnic group should I put down on my apps?”</p>
<p>So he is NOT hispanic…i cannot believe someone who is Portuguese himself did not know that Portugal was not a hispanic country.</p>
<p>Moreover, to quote Washdad:
"Yeah, I would disagree. For the purposes of college admissions Portuguese == Spanish == URM. Go for “Hispanic.”</p>
<p>OK…lemme clear things up for some people like washdad.</p>
<p>Fact #1: Portugal and Spain are different countries
Fact #2: People in Portugal speak Portuguese
Fact #3: People in Spain speak Spanish</p>
<p>Conclusion: Portuguese does not = Spanish</p>
