They're not fatty. Hispanic is a non-racial catagory. There are black hispanics and white hispanics and brown hispanics.

About as white as this...
Hispanic isn't really a race. It's about the same as saying someone is European.

I guess it all depends on what hispanic is to you.
Spaniards are fair skinned. Back in the day when they were conquering south America they brought in a lot of black slaves. over the years the poorer Spaniards breed with the slaves. That why you have some Spaniards with skin tones like this...
And some Spaniards with skin tones like this...

This. Since the 2010 census, Hispanic is now a yes/no question called "Ethnicity" on any form going to the feds or to an organization who reports to the feds. I have heard that some census offices were trained to complete Hispanics as white if nothing else was selected, though. Technically, most of them fall into the "Native American" racial group now, though that messed up a whole different set of reports on American Indian populations.

Yes as it stand there are black,brown and white hispanics but there really isn't such a race of people.Nixon needed a term for brown people in America and hispanic is the term he chose and it grew to mean anyone from Latin America.

They are classified as white when they kill black people. But if the same hispanic was shot by bubba, he would magically transform into a non-white latino.

Yes!
Also, it's not really Hispanic people being classified as white. It gives white people the ability to be classified as Hispanic.

there are hispanic white, and hispanic black 
hispanic merely refers to the fact they come from a spanish speaking country.
and you are correct, spaniards do not like being called hispanic, to them that refers to the latin americans.

It all depends...
If a Hispanic person is a victim of a hate crime, they are "Hispanic", "Latino", or very rarely "black Hispanic".
If a Hispanic person is the perpetrator of a hate crime, they are "white", or very rarely, when their skin is as brown as can be: "white Hispanic".
The problem with all the racial delineations in the US (and anywhere really) is that while we attempt to recognize races with the intent of providing them representation and assistance as minorities, what we actually do is continue the trend of racial differentiation, which of course, is the basis of differential treatment, and racism...

I don't really understand why Hispanics are separate from people of Italian or Portuguese descent. I always check off the hispanic box even though I'm 100% Western European... I suppose it's not what they're looking for, but I am of Spanish descent. It doesn't matter to me. I guess what they're really asking is if you're from a Spanish speaking Central or South American country... which excludes Brazil and the many Carribean non-Spanish islands. 
My husband is mostly Russian but since he's Argentine he's hispanic. In fact a lot of Argentines are of mostly German, Italian, or Spanish blood.
I don't really like the word Spaniards... it's awkward and seems like you're making a plural out of a singular. I think Spanish has been usurped by the Latinos to the point it's lost it's meaning, so lately saying Spaniard or Spaniards has become pretty common to make the distinction. But that's just a pet peeve of my own.

When I worked at Radioshack the last store I worked at was in the hispanic neighborhood, they had a couple of latinos working there who didn't speak spanish.
the locals would go in there, I'de be working with one of the latinos, and the locals would go up to them first and start talking in spanish. It was hilarious when they had to send them to me, because the reaction I got from the locals was always "You're white but you speak it so well."
It's cause my people taught your people how to speak SPANISH YOU MORONS! 
at least that's what I thought in my head all the time :P
