The word Mexican refereed to citizens of the Mesoamerican Mexica Empire. As Mexico is now a country, anybody can become Mexican by having citizenship with Mexico. (Chinese, Arab, french, spanish, ethiopian, etc) Many stupid Americans get confused though and call their foods Hispanic (of Spain), or Latino (of latin based language).
This is no more accurate then calling an African American an Englishman, or a Filipino a Spaniard.
Also, humans do not have races. As a scientist, human beings only have separate breeds, with less diversity then even our pets. The only ones who use the term are racists (people who believe in the social construct of race), those ignorant to the meaning, or those intentionally bent on spreading misinformation.

Technically, there is only one "race" for Latin America, which is "Latino/a". But some people question being Mexican or Spanish a "race".

You are a Mexican-American.

Is Mexican a race?
No Mexican is a nationality, the race of most Mexicans is white do to the fat that most are descendents of Spanish colonist. Though most Mexicans are mestizos or of mixed of both natives of Mexico (Aztecs, Mayans, etc.) and Spanish which is why most Mexicans have Spanish last names like Gutierrez, Gonzales, Ramirez, Salinas, etc.. There are a few black Mexicans because the Spanish brought some slaves with them when they conquered Mexico. Mexicans also chose on their own to classify themselves as "Latin" or "Hispanic" to change their status from basic white as they had always been classified, to their own "Latin" feel. This also shows the world that there is more to life than just being "white" or any race. It may have been seen as an insult to the so called "white" that the Mexicans did not want to be considered general "White" but that is not the intention. Every person is their own custom "race" for that matter. No two people are alike
