Are mexicans considered to be native americans too?

Answer 1

The majority of Mexico's population are mestizo, which of course is a mix of white Spanish & Amerindian. Hard to say which part dominates but I would be inclined to say they are Amerindian-dominate mestizos unlike Costa Ricans, as an example, who are generally white or white-dominate mestizos. Mexican is their nationality. There is no Mexican or "Latino" race. The latter term, along with Hispanic, indicate ethnicity and linguistic-based culture.
So, for the majority of Mexicans, the short answer would be yes. Why they don't generally embrace their Amerindian roots is beyond me.

Answer 2

No they arent, however most mexicans are native americans and spanish mixed together. Sooooo in a way yea, but without the same culture, customs,and religion.

Answer 3

No. Mexicans are considered to be Mestizo, meaning a hybridity of Native Indians and Spaniards, but of course, there is also African and Asian blood mixed in as well.

Answer 4

No. there are Mexican who have indigenous heritage, there are others that descend from Europeans (Elena Pontiatowska, a famous Mexican novelist is from Polish ancestry), and there are Afro-Mexicans , like María Antonieta del Carmen Peregrino Álvarez known asToña La Negra who was a famous chanteuse.

Answer 5

I don't think so. Native Americans were the only ones in Northern American when the English people invaded

Answer 6

The descendants of native Mexican tribes like the Aztecs are, yes. Many of the people who now inhabit Mexico are descendants of Spanish conquistadors or are of mixed ancestry.
