I am of Mexican descent myself. My mother is a Mexican citizen, my father was American, also of Mexican descent. "Of Mexican descent" or "Mexican" is just fine with me. Generalizations like Hispanic and Latino are not preferred by us unless our nationality is not known. It is however bad form to refer to a Hispanic person as a Mexican if they are not. Guatemalans, Puerto Ricans , Cubans, etc. have their national pride too.
