Ummm.. It's not mexican unless their illegals, I am fully hispanic my entire family and most hispanics have always lived in California, Arizona and other various places along with the Native Americans for generations. When both states were taken the people were allowed to stay, so were as much American as you. Mexican's on the other hand are literally citizens of Mexico. Hence the name Mexicans, citizens of america are Americans? When somebody jump's the the border then you can call them a Mexican, but you should not call every hispanic Mexican. Just a little update, were now being classified as white also, because of light skinned hispanics, I know so because thats what my school did to me 
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
