I’m not from the US. What are the chances that many people that are called “hispanic” are actually part of the acculturated original peoples that have been prived from their past?

That’s probably only true if you accept essentially irrelevant amounts of ancestry. If you take 5 generations, there’s likely at least one person 50% or more native in that family, but that would be <5% of their ancestry.
Five generations would be 10 people. If one of them was native American, their descendant to be 1/10 native American.
Generations are exponential, you have 32 5th generation ancestors and 62 total. You’re less than 5% of your 5th generation ancestors.
