No, he was not. Roberto Clemente was of Puerto Rican descent and became the first Hispanic player to reach 3,000 hits. He accomplished this milestone on September 30, 1972.
On May 17, 1970, Hank Aaron became the first African-American to reach 3,000 hits.

Was Roberto Clemente the first Hispanic major league baseball player?
I always believe that baseball is won with pitching. Therefore I think Juan Marichal should be considered alongside Clemente, but obviously this in no way diminishes Clemente's impact on the game.

Who is the first hispanic player voted into baseballs hall of fame?
That would be Roberto Clemente, elected in 1973 soon after his tragic death. (The 5-year waiting period was waived.) The first Hispanic player elected not on a special consideration would be Al Lopez, a catcher as a player but elected primarily for his achievements as a manager. Lopez joined the HOF in 1977, which would have been before Clemente would normally have been eligible, perhaps even before Clemente would have retired. The first Hispanic player other than Clemente elected strictly for his performance on the field was Juan Marichal, a native of the Dominican Republic and the pitcher who won the most games during the 1960s (191). Marichal was elected to the HOF in 1983.
