Agreed, “race” is not a biological concept. However, ‘Hispanic’ is not a racial concept. Even the the US Census says, ‘Hispanics can be of any race’. They do not go on to say ‘race is not a biological concept’. We may get there someday.

When the general public hears “Hispanic”, they think “Mexican”. When they think “Mexican”, they think: “Looks like a Southwestern Indian.” An awful lot of truly Hispanic people would slide under their radar, while they’d want to deport a lot of people who’ve lived here for thousands of years.
