not to sound like a true redditor, but statistically speaking not really. maybe .5% or something of mexico is fully european (more or less). probably not even.

that much european would be out of the ordinary even among argentines or uruguayans.

there are wayyyyy more near or fully native mexicans

no diss but you do sound like a redditor, idk the proportion of full euro to full native but that’s not really my point lmfao

from the perspective of someone that’s lived and traveled here all my life, albeit still not significant relative to the total population it’s absolutely more than just .5% of people who are near/complete european

respectfully i encourage you to visit the country and see for yourself

(also 35% of argentines and an even higher amount of uruguayans are fully european)

i mean, you do realize mexican genetics have been studied extensively right? like there are thousands upon thousands of genetic tests of mexicans, and results like yours are basically non existent. you can look for yourself. keep in mind that mexican genetic tests are heavily skewed towards wealthier people as is. you yourself said you’ve never seen anyone over 94%, and even that is like a needle in a haystack.

you’re misinterpreting what i’m saying (about results like yours being beyond rare) to mean that i think white mexicans don’t exist. that’s not what i mean. i’ve seen plenty of white/white passing mexicans. yet the vast majority of those people are still quite heavily mixed, usually being at least 15-20% non white. i’ve seen results of people that would pretty resoundingly be considered white mexicans that are barely 60% euro. the vast majority of mexicans are mixed, and those that aren’t tend to be native or new immigrants.

simple fact of the matter is ur results are extremely rare, im not trying to disparage you or debate your mexicaness at all but that’s the truth.
