A Spanish Colombian is a Colombian of full Spanish descent. Since many of Colombians are of full or partial Spanish descent and their culture is influenced by Spain (Due to the history of Colombia as a Spanish colony) as well as the Colombian government using White Colombian instead of Spanish Colombian, the term is rarely used.
