Mexico was home to a huge Native American empire so it makes sense they have more NA DNA then say, Argentina, which is primarily Italian.
Unfortunately, neither of those statements you have made are true.
There's lots of native DNA in Argentina, maybe not as much as Mexico but go north - go to Salta for example and you will see plenty, you will see plenty in Buenos Aires too and even if they are 'white' and they have a grandparent with their grandparents born there - they will have some native blood.
Also, the top ten surnames in Argentina are all Spanish surnames, I don't think an Italian surname makes the top twenty.
Most Mexicans have a mix of Native American as well as a large dollop of European colonist.
It's almost sad to watch some 20yo named Cortez that speaks spanish post on tiktok or go on youtube and then look shocked that their DNA profile is >50% European and then be upset as though they've somehow lost some sort of racial highground.
The disease that came with the Europeans wiped out most NA's throughout the Carribean and Americas....which is why they then imported Slaves from Africa, 90% of which went to the Carribean and S. America and 10% went to North America.
It's almost kinda sad to watch latinos posting on social media thinking that somehow they aren't heavily European. Makes me want to buy them a map of Europe with Spain highlighted with glitter perhaps.

Isn't part of what you're saying with Italian surnames because of the really large spread of Italian surnames especially with a lot of variations of similar ones (Rossi - De Rossi, De Rubeis, De Russi, De Russo, Del Rossi, Del Rosso, Della Rossa, DeRossi, Di Rosso, Di Russo, La Russa, Larussa, Lo Russo, Lorusso, Rossa, Rossato, Rosselini, Rosselino, Rosselli, Rossello, Rossetti, Rossetto, Rossillo, Rossini, Rossit, Rossitti, Rossitto, Rosso, Rossoni, Rossotto, Roussini, Rubiu, Ruggiu, Ruiu, Ruju, Russa, Russello, Russetti, Russi, Russiani, Russino, Russo, and Russotti) compared to Spanish surnames?

Many Latino Mestizos love to embrace only their Amerindian roots to claim sole ownership of this country and continent while forgetting that most are just as much Spanish from their white European roots. The Spanish were the most evil conquerors on the European continent maybe these Mestizos need to take up their beefs up with them instead. You know, those of their own flesh and blood, lol.

Most Mestizos do not embrace their natives roots at all. It's probaby only a small number of Latinos living in the states that do that. Secondly not to defend the Spanish but they were really no worse than Anglos, French or Portuguese.
