    My eyes are bleeding after reading comments on social networks
    regarding what is a Mexican. Some clarifications:

    1) "Mexican" is not a race. It's a nationality. (Da fuck?)

    2) Mexico is still part of the North American continent.

    3) Actually, until 1870, half of USA was part of Mexico, and the Native Americans considered both One Region (the Aztecs called this region "Anahuac").

    4) Mexicans don't have just one skin color.

    We are very diverse people genetically speaking.

    Some of us are light-skinned, others are not.

    Why? Because we're a mix between indigenous ancestors and migrants
    who came from places like France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Scotland,
    different locations in Africa, Lebanon, and China.

    There are still many pure Native Americans in Mexico,
    but most Mexicans are mixed. So don't stereotype Mexicans.

    5) The Aztecs are just ONE indigenous nation among MANY
    that existed in Mexico in the course of at least 4.000 years.

    6) And no, Mexicans are not Aztecs. Go back to point 4.

    7) Mexico is a spiritually diverse nation as well.

    Most people are Catholics, but there are a few Muslims, Christians of different denominations, atheists, and even indigenous peoples (like the pure Mayas)
    still practicing their ancient rituals. There is also a big Jewish community.

    1f60e. "Spanaird" is a person from Spain, not a Mexican.

    Don't call us like that, we hate it.
