In all other races, in Africa every country has its own language, in Asia, Europe. From Mexico to South America except Brazil speak Spanish, what other "race" do you know that all speak the same language and live in different countries?

You are all misreading my question. When I said, "Hispanics speaking ONE language", I am not talking about your boy friend or girl friend or a Hispanic born in Anglo-Sexan country. I am talking about the STATES OF SOUTH AMERICA and Mexico as well. Except the non-Hispanic countries such as Guyana, Brazil, etc.

That question can't be answered because it's based on misinformation..
"Hispanic" is not a race. It refers to persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
www.unr.edu/vpaf/hr/affaction/terms.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic
In very few countries around the world, do the people speak a single language. See https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2098.html for a breakdown of languages by country.
"...except Brazil..."? Let's not forget all the former Dutch, English and French colonies and the indigenous peoples. You can do your own research but I would guess they total a quarter of the population south of the Mex/US border.
Please be careful. Ignorance by one person enables and encourages ignorance by other people. That's one thing we don't need more of in this world!

You're forgeting spaniards, from Spain? Another race that speaks spanish. Actually, there are many different dialects of spanish. They have simularities because of the closeness, but there are differences. America and Britian?

This is a great question, in order for me to answer it fully we have to address where the Spanish language comes from, Spain. In Spain there are 5 different variants of the Spanish language. The one most commonly heard is the one from central Spain.
Now let's talk about all of the other Spanish speaking nations (puerto rico, Mexico, Chile, Cuba, etc). Now, I'm sure you know all of the Spanish speaking nations (except Spain), were originally inhabited by native indians, it's when the Spaniards took over that they converted to Christianity and speaking Spanish. (remember Columbus came over with Spain, not England) Seeing as the capitol of any nation is usually in the center, it makes sense that all of the nations conquered in the name of Spain would speak the central dialect. As the case with any nation taken over by another country.
Hope I helped to clear up any confusions you had, If you have any other questions pertaining to this, just e-mail me :)
