Some Americans came from England, therefore they have a reason for calling themselves English.
Some Mexicans came from Spain…

Mexico is in the same boat as the U.S. Before a couple hundred years ago there wasn’t a "USA" or "Mexico". So there are "Indians" (Aztec for example) and there are immigrants (Spanish). Over the years they have mixed and people have come into Mexico from Guatemala and other countries too.

I don’t think they are referring themselves as european, its more about the language. Besides, they all do have spanish blood because of the colonizers that fu*ked the women to later kill them and their men.
