A small section on genetics like in the Spanish version?

Given the controversy and ambiguity surrounding census groups, do you think it would make sense to add a genetics section like in the Spanish article? [1]. Humanophage (talk) 13:06, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Photos used are highly misleading

The placement of photographs of celebrities who are disproportionately light-skinned and Euro-looking is grossly misleading in demonstrating the actual demographics of Mexico, something which is obvious to anyone who is from there or has visited. Celebrities are mostly from the privileged/connected class of Mexican society and so reflect the special demographics of that class rather than the demographics of the country as a whole. Photographs of any market or street scene in a non-elite part of any city or the countryside would be far more accurate and appropriate. Tmangray (talk) 00:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need a long treatise on how many Mexicans have the mongolian spot?

A lot of work required in this article. But I have fixed the major race-related fixations including a strange categorization which includes Germans as whites and excludes Jews which makes me wonder who wrote this section.Huasteca (talk) 23:33, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a small paragraph within a section dedicated to phenotypical traits, it's size is appropiate as it currently is. In regards to the paragraph mentioning German Mexicans, that one is being added by you and only you[2]. If you mean the German Mexicans paragraph in the article of Mexicans, that one was added by a now-blocked editor named Php2000, who has various edits that pair with edits made by you, such as creating separate ethnic "identities" within said article[3], which is something you are currently trying to do in this one[4].

Removal of a part

Pob3qu3, do not remove the graph I added, I added it to try to give readers a better understanding of how the Mexican demographic is like. PedroDonasco (talk) 05:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
