No they are not. The Hispanic category is usually explicitly clarified to be "Non European Origin".

Portugal is a fuzzy area, but according to the OMB definition and for the purposes of the US Census people from Spain are Hispanic:

> The OMB defines Hispanic or Latino as “a person of Cuban, Mexican,Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.

This is the definition generally used by all US federal agencies.
