OK; my father is from the Caribbean, etc. His grandparents on his mother's side is from Cuba and his mother was born in Jamaica (so she is Hispanic I suppose). Does this mean that I am considered Hispanic most races say "non-Hispanic origin"? Just wondering

Cuba is the largest of the Greater Antilles and Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles..... therefore you could probably say you're West Indie or Hispanic mix.
Cuba and Jamaica are part of the islands of Hispaniola (composed of Haiti on the west side and the Dominican Republic on the east side) and Puerto Rico. Thus why you can say your Hispanic mix.

Ur somewhat hispanic because ur great grandparents were. This also depends on what race ur dad is.
Maybe u should say 'mixed'
Being a jamaican is not a race - just a nationality

Caribbean people are typically called Hispanics, so you are Hispanic.
