The indigenous Brazilians I have seen look like Mexicans.

Yes, of course, but they are less than 1% of the Brazilian population, and they mostly live in the Amazon jungle, not Texas.

99.999999999% of the Brazilians who come to the US are either white, black, or a black/white mixture. They do not look like the average Mexican; the only confusion may occur among whites, irrespective of whether they are from Mexico, Germany or Brazil.

Brazillian are mistaken for Mexicans by ordinary people all the time.

Still false.

Well, whatever they are now is different than 30 years ago, and most certainly different around the time the area now know as Mexico was settled. Which was my original point.
