No. Mexican is a nationality, while "Hispanic" is used to name any person who comes from Latin America or Spain (i.e: he or she speaks Spanish, hence the Hispanic).

In a more generic term, a Mexican IS Hispanic, but a Hispanic can be of any of the following nationalities:

  • Argentina
  • Bolivia
  • Chile
  • Colombia
  • Costa Rica
  • Cuba
  • Dominican Republic
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • Guatemala
  • Honduras
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Paraguay
  • Peru
  • Puerto Rico
  • Uruguay
  • Venezuela

From time to time, people from Brazil also fall into this category, but as they speak Portuguese, they fall into the more generic "Latino/Latina" denomination.
