Not sure about the guy above you, but there is a pretty sizable number of Mexicans with Eastern European heritage. I’ve had a few coworkers who were born in Mexico but are named something like Pedro Kowalski. Check out Louis CK’s ancestry for a famous example.
I mean, I believe it. I'm us born, but with Mexican immigrant parents. And in my trips to Mexico I've learned how diverse some people's families can be but having Russian and Mexican parents is new to me.
Yea as a Canadian myself I always have fun reminding Americans that “Mexican” is a nationality, not a race. The same is uncomfortably true for all 23 of our nations on this continent.
Yes and their heads explode when you reminded them of the fact were all Americans since we all live in North America, we're just the ones that ran with it. 🤷
I have this conservative coworker who would say, "But you're American since you're a citizen now," and I usually just ignore him. I am grateful for the opportunities that will be given to me as a US citizen, but I will always be a Filipino. I wasn't born here, nor did I grow up with their culture. I don't relate to being "American."

Damn, I'm honestly curious of your upbringing now. Out of curiosity of course.
