    People from Portugal are called Portuguese, and people from Spain are Spanish.

    Hispanic refers to people in the Americas who have a partial Portuguese or Spanish background.

    Hispanic only applies to people from the Americas with Spanish or Portuguese ancestry, not Europeans.

    Not necessarily.
