Colonial Peru
Are Mexicans or Latinos Spanish??
I have seen questions on this yahoo answers asking if Mexicans or latinos are spanish? What do you think?
People may say that Spanish are people in spain. But Mexicans and latinos from other parts of latin america are direct descendants from Portugal and Spain during the 1600′s of the colonial era when gold and silver was discovered in latin america. Spain mined gold and silver from Mexico, Peru and other countries, transported the wealth on galleons that sailed to Madeira Islands of Portugal and Canary Islands of Spain and on to Portugal and Spain. And on the way back the same route was used. Here is the proof of the route:

I am mexican and I have studied our countries past in the archives and have browsed through them to see where are ancestors came from. The silver and gold brought many people from Spain and Portugal to latin america during the 1600′s and 1700′s
Mexicans are native-Indians. I am a 7th generation Mexican-American and Im pretty much 98% AMERICAN.
Latinos are descendants of EUROPEANS, not just spaniards.
I hate when people refer to latinos as HISPANICS.

Eeee Geee. Im sorry to say this but You are WRONG.
60% of Mexicans are Spanish descendants 30% European. 10% other,. THat is why MEXICAN dont look alike. There are White, tall mexicans (spanish,european descendants). and short-dark skins Native-Indian-other. You get the point.

98% of Mexicans coming to the U.S. are Indigenous people so you will be wrong to say that all mexicans are like the ones you see working on cornfields.
