Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
actually most mexicans are of spanish descent, as opposed to native... also, mexican natives or "indu" are not who would be inhabiting the USA had euros never come to the USA, it would be the natives which currently inhabit the USA, which is a significantly different genetic composition than the natives of mexico, which predominantly descend from the aztec civilization...
No they are not. Most speak Spanish but that fact doe not make them descendants of Spain. It is like saying that all Americans are of English descent because they speak Spanish.
80% of Mexico is not white but rather a mix of a little bit of white with a lat and I mean a lot of native blood. The mix gets heavier the further south you go.
Furthermore, since Mexico is part of North America Mexicans are Americans as well. Yes they have developed differently than natives of the North East part of this continent for example but still they are genetically the same as other natives of this continent, including the ones from Mexico or Guatemala. Let's just say that they have a lot more right to be on this continent than the rest of us here.
Most Mexicans do not come from Aztecs. There are also Olmecs, Toltects, Zapotecas, Mayas and a host of smaller tribes.They are not from just one tribe as you claim. Some of them especially in the south sill speak their own language and try to maintain their culture.
