Yes i am hispanic, i was born and raised in puerto rico, and my first language is spanish. Since my family came over from europe generations back i am ligh skinned and have blond/brown hair. My school was bilingual so my accet faded and i now have a neutral one.

Im just worried that since i dont "look" hispanic that it will affect me

Sí tu apellido es de España, nadie va a decir nada. No te preocupes.

Not all Hispanics look the same, man lol...if you live in PR then you should know that by now. There are Puerto Ricans with blonde hair and blue eyes and some with afros. Adcoms are more culturally aware than you may think.
