Knew a Spanish chick named Blanca... she flipped shite on me one time because I called her Hispanic. Didn't realize it was so insulting or inaccurate.

If she was actually from Spain and got mad at you for calling her Hispanic, then she is a moron. It is in no way insulting or inaccurate.

I mean, Spain used to be called Hispania. Where the hell did she think the word came from?

Most likely because the term doesn't carry the same meaning in Spain that it does here. Remember, what we call Spanish is castellano to them. There are actually multiple "Spanish" languages.
