What cultural experience defines you as being Hispanic?

This is my second post just clarifying the cultural background and what is appropriate to put down in the AMCAS. What kind of experiences make you Mexican, for example? Is it just having a genetic lineage to Mexico, or is it more of cultural experience (i.e. if you are white but lived/grew up in Mexico for 10 years). Would both be considered Latino/Hispanic? Again, just asking questions for others who might have them. I am not saying this applies to me.
