How can you tell the difference between spanish and mexican people?
i honeslty can't seem to tell the difference. They all seem to look the same, eat the same food and talk the same language. There's apparently alot of both ethnicities in the town were im going to move to so would like to know the difference between the two groups because i remember a cuban guy who got really offended when i thought he was spanish.
people who keep saying they don't look the same etc etc look at diego sanchez- he's meaxican and he ain't brown at all

Whats wrong with you people my parents are from Spain and NO THERE NOT ALL WHITE WITH COLORED EYES. And the difference between Mexicans and Spaniards is the langauge. They prounance words diffrent. Like my parents have Blonde/Grey eyes and Black/Brown eyes. But I have Black Reddish hair and Hazel eyes. But I have european
Ancestors and Mexicans have Aztec Ancestors.
Spanish people are White from Spain, and they look White, Mexicans are from Mexico, they dont look White lol,
they dont look the same to me
The Spanish person is the tourist – the Mexican is the busboy.
Spanish people are much better looking, no offense to Mexicans.
They’re taller, have lighter skin, darker hair, sometimes have colored eyes.
Spaniards have a different accent than other Spanish speaking countries. Every Spanish speaking country has its own accent and slang. You are telling me Australian English and American English sounds exactly the same?? You wouldn’t be offended if a person confused you for an English person simply because you speak English and look similar??
Also the difference between Spaniards and Mexicans and Cubans is that sometimes they have different races in their country. Like Cubans have a lot of Black as well as Spanish. Mexicans have a lot of Native Americans as well as Spanish. Sometimes Cubans and Mexicans have people that just look Spanish and aren’t mixed with anything else (so i could see how you are confused), but there are many that are mixed. Spanish people aren’t mixed with Black or Native American.
And they don’t eat the same food! Tacos, tamales, and enchiladas are from Mexico not from Spain or Cuba.
EDIT:
Just don’t call someone that looks Spanish Spanish. Or should we call everyone that speaks English English?? Go with the broader term Hispanic. Because Mexican, Cuban, Spanish, Puerto Rican, etc. is more of an ethnicity than a race. Hope that clears things up.
Spanish are from Spain.
Mexican from mexico.
Mexicans have kind of indian face, black straight hair and black big eyes.
Spanish are white, light colors eyes.
Well a Cuban is a Spanish person, as well as the Mexicans, i think you are asking the wrong question…
Some people get offended when you call them Mexican when they are from another country LOL! (nobody wants to be a Mexican!)… anyways! I’m from Argentina and i am white (off course my mom is from Germany) but still a lot of people there are white, even SOME mexicans are white (those whose fathers got lost in the Mexican jungle…LOL).
But the difference is that mexicans have that "Aztec Look" it’s kinda hard to explain but, you know when you see someone and you go: "That’s a Mexican!" well guss what? It’s a Mexican!!!.
Anyways, Thet are two kind of Spanish people, the Mexicans and then…. the rest of them, no offense.
It’s hard to answer. I’m spanish , yet I have black hair and dark skin, theirs some spanish that have red hair and light skined, but not all. same with every race theres light , dark, tall short. The best way to know if their spanish of mexican is to just ASK !!!!
First of all, why would you need to know the difference are you going around asking everyone if they are one nationality or another. And to Wiggins and Lucas, F$%& You!!! I am no bus boy, I am a regional Manager of a major oil distribution company (Yeah bitches I am getting paid while you have to spend more on gas). And If I was born again, I would chose to be Mexican all over again.
Mexicans are Indians. The white ones are Mexican by birth not by decent. Those usualy came from white Europeans. Like Spainiards. Cubans and Spainiards are very similar. In my csae both my parents were born in Cuba from Spainiard parents. I was born in the U.S all my grandparents are Spainiards. I am very white with dark hair and dark eyes. Most cubans of the old generation come from spainiards. There also some what tanner Cubans and Spainiards, but most are white. The blacks on the island of Cuba which is what mostly dominats the island now. Were brought by the Spainiards when they arrived in Cuba from El Cong Africa. The Spainiards scattered world wide when the error of Franco was invaiding Spain. 80% of the Spainiards went to Cuba. White spainish people dont like to be compared to the indian spainish like Mexians, Columbians, Nicas, Chillenos.
Actually, for the person who said Mexicans ancestors are Aztecs, thats not entirely true. Most Aztecs were wiped out and killed by Cortes when he conquered Mexico, with only a few survivors. Many Mexicans ancestors are Spanish, since colonies were built by the Spanish in Mexico, which is where many Spanish people moved out to.
Mexicans speak Spanish and have Spanish last names, so people just assume their the same. not true, blacks in America speak English and almost all have Irish last names, that doesn’t make them white. some think because Mexicans are descended from Incas, myanza, Aztecs. what we call Indians some mistake as people from India, so some think their brown. but race wise, true Mexicans are red. Spanish people are white. just look at the skinn color ecknor the language, religion, and country that someone lives. their are 5 races and race only involve skin tone.
Dude not all mexicans are black and **** like that. I’m mexican and I have light sking black hair and brown eyes. Get your **** straight. And no spanish people don’t look better. I’ve seen ugly *** spanish people (no offense).
Spanish people are decendents from black moorish and white europeans, thats why when you go to spain you will see not all spanish people are white!!

no one can tell the diffrence between mexicans and spainards or any other hispanics by just looking at them you have to hear their accent when they speak spanish or ask them what they are . Mexicans can look like any race they can have any eye color becouse most mexicans come from spainards ancestors , they can be any skin color and they can have any hair color (look at Paulina Rubio).And in mexico there are indians that dont speak spanish, but there are mostly meztizos, those who are mixed ,spainish with indian.
