I mean yes there are some whites in mexico but most people are meztizo meaning white and native american. Some people could still look white and be mixed it just depends which genes are more dominant.

most people in the world have the idea of mexicans as mixed and native americans because the people who imigrate is mixed and brown skin.but criollos originally are white people desendant of spanish,and other european people of mediterranean race.in the midle class and in the high class of mexico.people in general are white pure and in the low class are amerindian desendant.in 1940 during world war two Mexico have inmigration of spanish ,italian ,and judes.
they formed colonies and their sons are mexicans in nationality and caucasoid in race not all mexicans are mixed,if you are white and you born
in filippines you dont turn into asian.OK.

It would make sense. Most of the people in Mexico have Native American ancestry.

He is not mexican.. He is both Mexican and Russian, and who knows if he is a permanent white boy.. i am permanently white from my dad being Mexican, but I am an American and other white ethnicities. My own race ever called me that I would get a nail and hammer and knog it in their hand and tell them. “I am not that!” ‘Cause it is very disrespectful. Nobody that is Irish-American likes being called English. I would not do anything else ’cause everybody deserves a spot in the world. Antonio Menchaca proved that in the 1800s he was not Mexican at all, but a Texan by having a Mexican killed for calling him Mexican.. Criollos, Texans, and other people mixed with a heritage don’t like that name, and would propably do the same if you kept edging it on.

I also read somewhere he could be part Native American from his dad’s side?? But with his father being absent from his life, I guess we can only speculate. But I read it could be a possibility!!
