Mexicans also chose on their own to classify themselves as "Latin" or "Hispanic" to change their status from general white as they had always been classified, to their own "Latin" feel. This also shows the world that there is more to life than just being "white" or any race. It may have been seen as an insult to the so called "white" that the Mexicans did not want to be considered general "White" but that is not the intention. Every person is their own custom "race" for that matter. No two people are alike. Even in the general "white" race, there are different hues of white.

What race are you if you are Mexican-American?
Mexican Americans encompass a wide group of people who were born in or reside in the United States of Mexican descent. Mexican is a nationality and is not limited to one single race. Most are either mexica, or mestizo.
You are Mexican American what race are you?
you could answer Latino, Hispanic, or Mexican.EDIT:Hispanic is an ethnicity that is means you are have origins in a Spanish speaking country Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, etc. Latin is basically the same thing but less specific because it also includes Portuguese speaking countries like Brazil. Mexican is also not a race but instead a nationality, like how people from Canada are Canadians. If you are Mexican chances are you are white, because more likely you have a Spanish last name which means some of your ancestors are from Spain, and your are also probably of a mestizo which means you are of both Spanish and natives of Mexico like the Aztecs. But because majority of mestizos are predominantly of Spanish blood they are considered white or Caucasian.
