I have heard Siberia
Yes siberia, i have gotten that in my DNA results. And so far it's not recent asian ancestry, just the connection from my amerindian ancestry.

There's a lot of afro influence in veracruz, it was always historically been a afro influenced region. Even mulattos can be found in that area with no amerindian ancestry but at a lesser rate than tri-racials. The coastal parts of guerrero also has blacks, zambos and tri-racials. There's also amerindian influenced mestizos in the central and northern regions in mexico, euro mestizos dominate that area though. Southern mexico has a good number of euro-mestizos, although they are not as common as indio-mestizos. You can find these phenotypes everywhere throught the country. You make it seem like if they are very rare throught the country when it's really not.

I am Mexican and I have travelled in every corner of the country for over 20 years by car, bus etc. and know Mexico like the back of my hand. I have also been to Peru and Ecuador and those places are heavily indigenous even in their cities and especially in their rural areas, the same cannot be said for Mexico.
Holy crap dude, we should call you the next dora the explorer then , Mexico is a huge country, i fully doubt you have traveled every single acre throught the country.

Oh I see, you're a guerita that wants to white wash Mexicans and ignore statistical fact. Well, geurita, life does not work that way. Facts are facts!

What’s wrong with being a guerita, she is just as Mexican as any indigenous person. Anyways I don’t think she is denying that there are many indigenous people in Mexico, she is just trying to highlight the fact that the majority of Mexicans are mixed race some tend to be darker than other and some whiter. When she says white or European Mexicans she is just talking about their ancestry, not about their culture. You on the other hand think she means white as in the USA. If you are dark and proud of your indigenous roots that’s fine. But not all Mexicans think like that. Anyways most Mexicans are proud of both their roots. Actually, the reason Mexico exists as we know it right now doesn´t have much to do with its indigenous population. It was the criollos and mestizos who started the independence of New Spain. Mexico as a country did not existed when the war for independence started and it was the criollos and mestizos who decided to change the name of New Spain for Mexico. They could have kept it, but they dint. Just like Argentina was name Argentina before their independence, and for one reason or another they decided to keep the name. Most people believe that the Mexican independence was about Mexicans (Mexican Indians) fighting Spain to gain their independence. But it was all the way around it was the daughter and sons of Spain, either mestizos or criollos the ones that made it all happen. The same thing with the Mexican revolution. Zapata, maybe, was one of the only indigenous leader in the Mexican revolution, he practically didn’t accomplish nothing if wasn’t for pancho villa who was a mestizo. But, Mexico has a thing about making heroes out of looser. On the other hand we have Álvaro Obregon a white Mexican of Irish heritage, from one of the least populated states in Mexico. Who with an army of about 8000 Yaquis and mayos plus mestizos and Mexicans of European heritage from Sonora went down to Mexico City and defeated everyone without losing a battle. There is more to Mexican history than just their indigenous side. Mexican history started with the arrival of Cortez. Like it or not, anything before that is pre-mexico.

Well about 15% of them are.

Most of them have very significant amounts of Native American blood but adopted mestizo culture and don't really identify with Native Americans, plenty see them as inferior. It takes more than just blood to be an Indian, culture is more important.

Actually if anything the African is under-counted in Mexico. It's been practically wiped from history...

Mexican history starts with the first settlement of the Mexican territory by our indigenous ancestors, bud.

So, while most Mexicans have significant indigenous ancestry, very few still maintain the kind of indigenous cultural associations comparable to Native Americans in the USA.. So, while they are genetically Native (North) Americans, they are not culturally Native (North) Americans.
lol i am pretty sure there are more indigenous people inMexico by total numbers and as a percentage that maintain their culturural association than to U.S indigenous who many of them have been pushed into reservations and have European ancestry.

From Alaska down to the Malvinas, if you were born in the "Americas" then you are a native. Now as for being indigenous that's another story...
