Best Answer

You are considered Hispanic if either of your parents had any Hispanic ancestry and you choose to describe yourself as Hispanic. Someone with one Mexican parent would be "half-Mexican," and that person's children would certainly have one parent with some Hispanic ancestry. The rest is up to you.

Being Hispanic is not a race but a cultural identity.

If one of your paternal grandparents was Hispanic and your mother is Caucasian, you can call your self Hispanic if you want. The term does seem to apply better if you have been part of the Hispanic community, participated in the culture, or have personally experienced anti-Hispanic prejudice or discrimination at some point.
