text: Yta. Big time.  My mother is Mexican. Born in chihuahua, Mexico and came to America later on.  My father is white.  I was born in America and don't speak much Spanish but I am Mexican. My younger brother who looks nothing remotely Mexican is also Mexican. Because something doesn't fit into what YOU consider to be Mexican doesn't mean that they're not Mexican.  I don't fit into what you consider Mexican but I am Mexican.
