If a person is of Spanish decent; does that make them part Mexican?

I am very sorry for that. It really is terrible how people discriminate against ANY culture just because they are like another. ANYWAY they shouldn't discriminate against the first one in the first place! I live in a city with a high Latino population, and everytime anyone says "Mexican" I feel that I need to correct them. It has gotten me into some sticky situations, but I've also made some friends through it. I am a Spanish student and it disgusts me to see how people can just pretend that because they speak Spanish they must be bad. It makes me SICK. I lived in Spain for a while to practice my Spanish and even though I was American *most* (not all, just most) of the people there could still respect me. And when I speak to the Latinos in my city they can still respect me even though I am not the same race as them. And it's amazing, it's not even just latinos either. It is anyone who speaks Spanish. My host family sent their daughter here and everyone was rude to her simply because she spoke with a Spanish accent.\n\nOne last rant and then I am done.\n\nSo my friend and I did an experiment. Even if we are AMERICAN and we speak in Spanish, will they do the same thing? The answer is yes. We went downtown and spoke in Spanish to each other for the day. If someone spoke to us we answered in English, with our American accents, and we were still treated the same way. So my conclusion is that it isn't just the people themselves that are Latino or Hispanic that are discriminated against, but the whole Spanish language.\n\nThis didn't really answer your question....sorry....

No, but you may be more curious in the future. I'm not Mexican, but LOVE the culture. Enjoy being an American.

I just don't know if you are referring Latinos as a whole or to an specific group. I know that must people that were born south of the USA, may speak the same way because after all Spanish is their native tongue, so when they move to speak English they may have sort of similar accent. Let me tell you something, not all "Latinos" are the same, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans are very different to the rest of Latinamerica.  You don't say to an Irish he is British or to a Canadian he is American or to a Basque he is Spanish. Culture shouldn't be an excuse to do something wrong, when you are allowed into another country you should learn their customs and traditions. To say that because of my culture i do this or that, is just a lame excuse to avoid responsibility.

I'd say that the majority are mestizo.  The rest are probably mostly of spanish descent with a small amount of other nationalities that have migrated there through the years.

Mestizo. (Mixed European- White and American Indian.) It's not technically a race, but it tells who they are genetically.

Just be polite. I deal with alot of Hispanic people, and I speak English. I am slowly learing spanish. I think I'm doing very well, but I've had alot of Hispanics make fun of the way I speak Spanish. It's degrading! I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I made fun of their English! So...just be nice!

Both... they're not Hispanics or Latinos... So it's both.\n\nI CANT BELIEVE WHAT THAT TOTS GIRL JUST SAID! WHEN THE HELL IS A MEXICAN A SPANISH PERSON!?!?!?!??!!!??!?!?! THATS LIKE ME CALLING AN AMERICAN A BRITISH PERSON!\n\nA Mexican is a Latino/Hispanic... a Spaniard or Spanish person is a person from Spain

You are very right.\n\nThey also require 3 things to be considered for citizenship:\n1) You must be able to speak Spanish.\n2) You must know Mexican history.\n3) Be living with a Mexican citizen.\n\nThey live by do as I say, not as I do.

Not not Spaniard.....Mexicans are Indians only a small percentage actually have Spaniard & French blood.... if this is not true this which I have "spoken" prove it with facts not rhetoric.  To speak Spanish a Spaniard does not make.

No. If a Mexican gets divorced he and or she will be sent to prison. If you know of a Mexican who has gotten or is planning a divorce, please notify the proper authorities.

I read someone say that Puerto Ricans were of Spanish decent but lets not forget that there are people of African ancestry as well, so it should not be labeled as simply  a Spanish/Latin commonwealth.

I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Mexican American works fine.

My friend does because supposedly he burned the Mexican Flag.  Because he was tired of being compared to Mexicans even though he is Puertro Rican.
