Indeed. Unlike America where Native Americans were expelled from their territories or outright exterminated, Spanish conquistadores had a different strategy: interracial marriage. Right now, most Mexicans are Mestizos, people of mixed European ("White") and Native American background. They account for 60-80% of the Mexican population (between 67 up to 90 million in 2010).
