Actually, most Mexicans (like Peruvians, Hondurans, etc.) are of predominantly Amerinidian ancestry. the Spaniards and Portuguese were more about assimilating Indians, while the English were more about segregating or killing them.

Pretty sure the Aztecs would disagree, and the Incas, well, they didn't quite make the cut.
Note: I'm not seriously proposing reparations or anything like that, it is just a fun exercise in petard hoisting.
All American Indians enjoy a pass from modern political correctness even though most of their ancestors engaged in the most hostile wars and subjugation imaginable. The truth of the matter is that whenever a European or other foreigner arrived here, they encountered the victorious survivors of thousands of years of unimpeded conflict, and there is no-one speaking up for those Indians that got crushed by their peers - that's because they are dead, too.
No-one has clean hands, that is the point. Once political correctness came along to twist history and select the good guys from the bad guys, the truth became lost. It's the Nietzschefication of history.
