You are either one or the other. You cannot be mexican AND american. If you were born in America, then you are American unless you change your citizenship. Your mother may of been Mexican, yes. But if you were born in america you are not mexican unless you get citizenship there.

For example, If I was born in America and moved to Spain shortly after. Lets say that years went by I got citizienship in Spain, but as a teenager moved back to america right, and then become a US citizen. Then the stock market crashes, like it will in 6 months, and I go back spain and regain citizenship there. While in America I would of been all kinds of wrong names, called Spanish American, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and lots of other ignorant names. People dont care enough to distinguish, that's the problem here in USA.

In Spain its simple, I would be called "Americano". They would not call me all F'd up names.
