In the U.S. today, is "Hispanic" used predominantly in sense 1,
"Pertaining to Spain or its people; esp. pertaining to ancient
Spain", or sense 2, "Spanish-speaking, esp. applied to someone of
Latin-American descent living in the United States"? And how much
predominantly?
Can someone reproduce the 2010 U.S. census choices related to
"Hispanic" and race or not-race? (I'm a bit lazy at the moment.)
