What does a Mexican look like?

Answer 1

Can you look American? or Canadian? How about French or Russian? Mr. Barack Obama, Selena Gomez, David Hasselhoff and Michelle Kwan are Americans. So what makes you look American?

There is a common misconception of how foreign people looks and behaves, called stereotype. For Mexicans it is the lazy, short, potbellied 'Mexicano' with a big mustache, sombrero and a poncho drinking tequila all day long and watching cockfighting or lucha libre.

Mexicans - especially those who stay in Mexico - look just like other people. Some have darker skins and some have lighter skins. Most Mexicans are a mix of European and Native American, known as mestizos, and represent 60-80% of the population. Then, there are people who are direct descendants of Native American peoples who inhabited Mexico before the arrival of Europeans. They represent 10% to 30% of the population. Finally, 9% to 17% are Mexicans of European descent, mostly being of Spanish ancestry. There are other minorities, such Middle Eastern, Asian and even Afro-Mexicans who represent another 3-4% of the population.
