  I'm not an expert.. but aren't mexicans mestizos, a spanish/indian racial mix?   Most of them, but not all. The population of Mexico is still estimated to be at about 10% White, so that's roughly  10 million  people. The White population of Mexico is at about the same percentage as the White population in South Africa, believe it or not. There are also many pure-blooded indians, most demographics estimates I've seen for Mexico have about 70% Mestizo, 20% Amerindian and 10% White.  This is what the CIA World factbook has:  mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1%
