or Latinos in general since the majority of Mexicans are racially Mestizo (Half or partially American Indian/Native American) or the majority of Latinos being racially mixed (with some American Indian)?

I am an Apache Native from the United States (in the state of Colorado), I honestly can't stand or could care less for Mexicans. In the Mexican culture, it's frowned upon to be Native American/American Indian in their culture since they're considered racially the bottom of the barrel in their country, despite that ironically, over 70% of Mexico's population is Mestizo (half or partially American Indian) and predominantly American Indian (Indigenous Mexicans with some European admixture) and only about 9% of Mexico's population is purely White European descendant. Hell, the Spanish word "Indio" literally translates to "Indian" which is considered an insult in Mexico or nearly all of South and Central America (the Latino culture in general).

A lot of Mexicans would treat the Natives in their own country like crap and identify as "Spanish" or "White European" in their country yet all of the suddenly cry "racism" and cling onto the "Native American" identity (when they feel that it benefits them only) once they end up being the victims of racism in the US (since White Supremacists/Neo Nazis especially here in the US, never saw these people as "White" in the first place).

Not to mention, there's a history of bad blood between Apache Native Americans from the US and Mexicans going as far back as the Mexican-American War when Geronimo never had a positive thing to say about Mexicans and fought against them, along with the conflicts between the Chiricahua Apaches and Mexicans later on (after the Mexican-American War) in the 19th century.
