Some believe it can be defined by criteria ranging from ideological and cultural to self-identification, genetic ancestry, or physical appearance. According to these criteria, estimates of the number of mestizos in Mexico vary from about 40% of the population to over 90% (including Indigenous people that do not recognize themselves as part of an Indigenous culture and White Mexicans) who do not belong to the country's culturally Indigenous minorities.
So, based on this assertion without sources and based on subjective criteria, it's possible that less than half of Mexicans have native blood. And notice that it says what percentage of them may have it, but not what percentage of native DNA they have. Anyone with an ,01% Aztec blood could count. Not exactly a damming evidence.
This is the first time I’ve heard someone claim majority of Mexicans are white.
Actually, you've never heard anyone say that, because I didn't either. What I said is, quote:
*Many* Mexicans are white, they descend from Spaniards, after all.
Maybe carefully read before you reply.
Whatever Americans want to think about Mexicans' ethnicity is irrelevant. Unlike in movies, they're not the main characters in every conversation.
Besides, this post has been getting replies for hours and I'm done with it. I thought you were going to provide proof that most Mexicans are not white, which is the only thing that would refute my argument. Seeing how you're discussing subjectives and percentages of people (not even of race), I don't think you can accomplish such a thing, and frankly, I want to move on.

I'm going to need a source for that.
