If Mexican is not a race but a nationality then what is the race of the people?   and please don't say something stupid like latin (which is a language...not a race, place or people), don't say Hispanic...another false title...

Hispanic are so varied, so it can't be used to describe a race.

I'd say mexican is a good term. Certain people from South America and Mexico look alike.. Short and small eyed.

There are a multitude a races: white (mostly meditterranean, and germanic), black, amerindian, mestizo (mized white and amerindian).  Most of what you see in the U.S. are amerindians and mestizos with very few signs of european influence since they are the poorer, low-skilled groups of people. 

In the U.S. the term Hispanic is a cultural term to link spanish speaking people or any race and latino is a term to link the people who speak latin derived languages mostly in the americas very rarely are they used to describe latin Europe nowadays.  The original latins are the Roman people from modern day Italy.

Can you say there is an american race?

Hispanic is more of a cultural term rather than a racial term in the U.S.  Hispanic when used in the U.S. is to describe spanish speaking people.  The original Hispanics were from Hispanica parts of modern Spain.

The Phonecian people named the Iberian peninsula "Ispana" and when the Romans took over, they renamed it Hispana.

I'm Roman history freak, the empire and republic anyways. Not so much of Greece or the rest of Europe.

History was always my favorite subject.  :P
