Yes.

Many Mexicans are tanned or darker skinned, as are the native Central American tribes from which many are descended. But complexion and skin shade can vary considerably, by ancestry or for an individual.

No.

Most Mexicans are in fact white, and can pass as white. 75% are presumed to be mestizo, that is Indian with Spanish. But many people fall into the spectrum closer to white rather than brown. They have Mediterranean looks.

One of the reasons there are not too many dark people is that Spaniards nearly wiped out the race.

Those with Mexican features are discredited as being white simply due to the fact that they live in Mexico or know Spanish, making language or culture the poorest indicator of race.
