How do you know they're lying? It's very common to be of mixed ethnicity.
But I have come across a few, who deny their ethnicity? Why? I don't know. I guess they think they're better than that. (Better than their true ethnicity...dumb).

People afraid of the white majority may be afraid of what whites are prejudiced against.
In the war years and many years after many Germans changed their names to English and some pretended to be Dutch. Italians weren't popular either. This was in both Canada and the USA.

For your information mexicans are indians and they have italian and spanish blood in them. remember cortez and americo vesspucci. spaniards and italians conquered the new world. the mexicans are descendants of the incas and the aztecs

Do you know what Mexicans are made up of? Educate yourself.
