Depends on where you are born (or live). I was born in Wisconsin, so I am American. I have a friend who was born in Peru, but he moved hear and became a citizen of the U. S. he is American. There are plenty of white people who reside in Mexico. They are Mexicans. There are plenty of people from Mexico, who now are U.S. citizens. They are Americans. There are also plenty of people from Mexico, who moved here and haven't become citizens. They are Mexicans, and should go back home.

Do you mean race of origin or nationality? If your dad is from Mexico, you might be able to have dual citizenship in Mexico and the US if your mom is American. If your mother is caucasian or of European decent, you'd be half Mexican/Hispanic/Latino (and that is a bunch of different cultures mixed together in different ratios) and you'd be half caucasian or "white". Your nationality has to do with where you are born and what citizenship you carry. Your ethnicity is where your family originates from, but you can be a Mexican of Chinese heritage too!

PLeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee give the points to magarita. She is right! Race and Nationality are two different horses in a pen. I hate when people think that only Americans are black. Their are black hispanics, haitians, Africans and so forth. So therefore a Mexican person is someone from Spanish and Native American orgin and a white person stems from Europe, but what country is he from? If he is white and was born in USA, he is an American, but white. On the other if he or sshe was born in mexico he is mex, but they have a kid in USA--------the kid is Mexico American. Bingooooooooooooooooo! Magarita wins the boober points.

If you lived in Mexico and then came to the U.S., you would be a Mexican-American...but race isn't the same as nationality. I've heard people who are half white and half Mexican called mestizo or creole...I'm not sure if those are the technical names for them, though.

if they were born in America they would be American -you can teach them Spanish or not teach them that is your choice. people always say the will be Mexican -American but not true b/c i am 1/2 Mexican and i am still not accepted by my own people for the very reason i don't speak Spanish fluently. Some people especially in Texas think b/c you are closer to the border you should speak Spanish-well before Texas was owned by the Spanish govt it was 1st inhabited by uto-Aztecan Indians or American Indians as well as parts of central America. maybe you have some Indian blood too, you never know!

That's a stupid question. They would be mixed with white and mexican. White isn't a nationality anyway. It's a race. Only black and white are races. The rest are nationalities. So, technically, they wouldn't be either or. And I'm mixed with black and white which makes me...mixed with black and white. DUH!
