If I officially change my name to a Spanish last name, could I be considered Hispanic?

I want to be considered Hispanic, but don't have a Spanish last name. I could possibily have Spanish blood, but I don't know. I have dark hair and dark eyes.

Answers:
Employers might consider you hispanic.. but you're not really. Unless you came from a Hispanic background then you can't be hispanic.


A rose by any other name....
No. You sort of have to be Hispanic to be Hispanic.
I have dark hair and dark eyes also sweety, but I'm as white as it gets. Actually, I'm indian and Irish. Why would you want to be Spanish?
no only if you're really Hispanic you will be Hispanic changing you're last name doesn't make u Hispanic! everybody knows that
Well if you don't know for sure that you are Spanish, Hispanic or Latino I'm not sure what the point is of changing your last name. Dark hair and dark eyes doesn't mean you are Spanish either...You could be French, Italian, Indian, Native American etc. I'm not sure why it's so important for you to profile yourself, calling yourself by a Hispanic name doesn't automatically entitle you to the heritage.. So what is it you are going for here??
Do some more research into your heritage before jumping into a name change just to identify yourself as something you might not be..
No,your name does not matter it is your blood line,an why do you want to be a mex anyway,if so move to mex an change your citizenship to there an you still will be a white person
No- just uncontaminated with knowledge.
