I very respect Mexicans. In my country, people are not united. Nobody wants to recognize their own person in everyone. Chechens, Tatars, Russians, Yakuts, Bashkirs - all are nationalists. But foreigners know us all as "Asian, Caucausian and Slav Russians". Our country, Russia, is the largest only because it has remained an empire. The Spanish, British, Ottoman, Japanese, French, Portuguese Empire collapsed, and the Russian Empire simply changed its name to the period of socialism, and in the 90s again headed for imperialism and the dominance of Slavic Russians.

Africans in the diaspora refer to themselves as black, but that is because of the influence of the European criminals who forced them into bondage and removed all knowledge of their prior culture, language, and religion, and imposed their European names and everything else on them. If you travel to Africa you will never hear an African refer to himself as a black, even though his skin color might be jet black. I am Nigerian and Kenyan.

He told me that he was a descendant of a group of German immigrants to Mexico in the late nineteenth century.

The 20% trace amounts is likely Middle Eastern blood, because before Spaniards left Europe to colonize the Americas, Arabs had conquered Spain for over 700 years, and so a lot of Spaniards have admixture from the Middle East. This explains why there are Spanish & Hispanic people with similar features to middle easterners (tan skin, full lips, dark hair/eyes). Southern Italians are also proven to have on average around 28% middle eastern admixture, which is why they get made fun of by central and northern Italians who are fully white.

The name/word Mexico and mexicano is derived from the Nahuatl word (mexica), the original tribe/tribes better known in the modern time as the Aztecs. So this false idea that all Mexicans are mestizos is a myth! The base of what is known today of the Mexican culture come from the original tribes/cultures of Mexico. 68 different languages spoken in Mexico plus much more dialects combined they equal around 200. Spanish supposedly is the official language of Mexico but the spanish spoken in Mexico is so mixed with words that are indigenous or are derived from a indigenous language and are not found in the spanish dictionary. Mexico is known as an indigenous country because of the so many indigenous cultures, its history, traditions and folclore. So Mexico and Mexicans is more indigenous than what you think they are!

[@lindaschreifels9889]

If your parents are from Mexico then that would mean that you’re Latino/hispanic, too, though. Being either is about ethnicity (cultural background like music, language, food, traditions, sometimes religion). Race is more about what makes up your physical appearance. For instance, my mother is mixed race, light skinned Panamanian and my father is white from the U.S.. Because they’re both white skinned, I am too and because I was mainly raised around my Latino family, I have kept to many habits, traditions, and cultural customs which means that I too am Latino/hispanic. Another example would be Lupita Nyongo. Her parents were Kenyan and she was born in and grew up around the Kenyan embassy in Mexico. Because she has embraced Mexican cultural traditions since birth, she is a Latina/hispanic. If I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say, though, my apologies.

One Halloween, many years ago, a Mexican friend, educated as aircraft engineer, called me over to join their party. He said there would be a guest from another country, that I hadn't met before. That 'unknown' friend turned out to be a Moroccan Muslim, head gear, long robe et al. Well groomed beard, mustache and dark glasses (Ibn Saud came to mind). He almost had me going and laughed as I stood there, a bit puzzled looking. Later, his claim that many Mexicans' backgrounds were a mix of different races, such as Spanish/Portuguese, Northern Africans and even New World Indios, got me thinking. I couldn't stop, but look at him over and over that evening. Ever since then I began to look at Mexicanos with different eyes, such as "what would this guy look like, if he wasn't wearing jeans and t-shirt, but a turban and flowing robes" ? And why not? After all, the (darker skinned) Moores had a significant presence on the Iberian Peninsula before America was discovered and - I assume - some of the Spanish crew would have been made up by men who looked just like my friend. Not possible? I wonder ?

Race isn't very biological. While there is a genetic component, it's mostly cultural. American racial classification labels people with light skin as "Caucasian" even though they may have no relationship to the Caucasian population, they just look at skin pigment, not any other factors. While certain types of genes may make a person look a certain way, it is not the genes themselves but rather the physical traits that determine race; a person can have 85% Caucasian genes, but if they resemble a Han Chinese person, they will be called "Asian" in the US.

I was like "Well, for sure I am neither black or asian, but I don´t think I am white enough to be considered white, Or am I?" so I called an american friend and asked her: "Hey, Do you think I am white enough to be considered white for American standards?" And she was like: "I think you are, you don´t have dark skin and your face doesn´t look indigenous to me, it´s more like Southern Europe or maybe even a Middle East appearence. For an average American, you are a hispanic white." But then my cousin interrupted us and said: "What are you talking about? Sure you are not white. When I studied in the US they almost considered me black. If you don´t have blond hair, blue eyes and transparent skin, you are not white for them. Plus, do you feel ashamed of your roots? Do you want to reject your Native American ancestors and pretend you are European?"
