Do you consider yourself to be Hispanic/Latino/Spanish Origin? (The term Hispanic or Latino or Spanish Origin is defined as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.)

I am a quarter Spanish..my grandmother is from Barcelona, Spain. Would I be stretching it if I select yes?

Nope if that is how you define yourself based on your ethnicity and cultural experience. However my experience with these types of questions tell me that if you need to ask this question you probably are not in the category that should select yes. If you get an interview they’ll make that decision anyway so it’s up to you.
