Their parents teach them that. Although some Mexicans have a lot of Spanish blood, most are Indians. Most of them here copy the racism and try to act superior to even educated black people. I am African and Native American with some French, so I get unwanted attention sometimes, so I know. The Norse invaded Spain which accounts for some blonde hair and blue eyes. Germans also settled in Mexico with the Spanish. German features are specific and can cause reddish brown hair and green eyes. Very few white women came to Mexico with the Spaniards so most all Mexicans were birthed from Indian girls and women. They killed most of the Indian men of most tribes.

I'm half and half. My father is Spaniard and French decendent and my mother is mexican and indian and on my father death certificate his race is white. If a person looks dark than they are considered mexican but spanish people from spain are white because they are europeans not latinos. Many mexicans just want to be considered spaniard when they really aren't and just are wannabe spaniards. I love being mexican also especially when my mom cooks mexican foods and I love the mexican dresses that they wear especially for cino de mayo.

I'm Mexican and my ancestors were Spaniards and moors that ruled Spain for over 700 yrs and i also have indigenous descent. I'm Mexican and I'm light skinned and i have hazel eyes. it’s seems like all of u guys r just ignorant. it seems to me that a lot of u guys did not go to school beyond high school with all of these stupid answers.

Mexican foods are not Spanish foods. How can people even think so? The major similarity besides language is religion. Music and dance and stuff like that is also very different, at least compared with modern Spain. There are some Mexican and Central American immigrants in span, and they stand out from the locals both in culture, behaviour and looks (Yes, some Mexicans looks Spanish, but many do not).

Here, in Granada the people are mostly white. But MANY DON'T KNOW, THAT SPAIN WAS RULED BY ARABS FOR 800 YEARS. Throughout Spain I've seen Arab/mestizo looking people who I thouht were mexican or columbian etc. Turns out they were also Spainards. There ancestors were arabs mixed with Spanards. As for my self im a fair skined, light brown eyed dark brown haired spaniard.

I have family in Mexico still. If you look at me, I look Iberian - typical Spanish/Portuguese looking. But I am Mexican - lots of Indio and Spanish blood in my veins. There are no written records of my Spanish ancestors since they go back 400 years, but there is no doubt I have lots of Spanish blood when you look at me. Oh, and I am Mexican.

My brother works in genetic modification and does a lot of work in Mexico. He sees really Indian looking Mexicans that turn out to have a significant amount of Spanish blood (Western European) RB1 in particular. This is from the Iberian peninsula.
