When someone says I'm Mexican, whoever that person is; they are trying to make an effort to say they are indigenous to this side of the world, and no where else.

The Word 'Mexican' comes from the word MExica (pronounce Mehsheka)

The Mexica were the so call Indians also know as the "Aztecs".

The Mexica never called themselves "Aztecs" or "Indians" prior to European Inavsion.
