My point is, virtually every Mexican, including those who don't look native, has a substantial amount of native blood due to 500 years of co-mingling. Even those fair-skinned Mexicans who claim "direct descendancy from Spain" are going to be suprised by their blood tests.

It's a good point but not at all surprising, 99% of Mexicans will tell you that they are mestizos even if they look as a black or white person.
There are some people who believe that the Americas (North and south) had a population equivalent to that of Europe at the conquest. Certainly Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) would have an urban population on a par with the greatest urban centers of Europe.
In comparison in the Mexican territories later annexed by the USA, there were no major urban centers.
Your comment about demographics of the mid 19th century and today make perfect sense.
Much larger, but plagues reduced the Amerindian population to one million,
This thread is grossly stupid, reminds the old discussion about Jewish blood among the Geman aristocracy, they all have Jewish blood, and most Nazis too. Jewish blood among Spanish Inquisitors, almost all or "Native American" blood among nordic European, all of them.
Slanted eyed Scandinavians and Slavs and Native American are related,
Tatars, Alans, Huns, Magyars and a large etcetera, are related to NA.
Skin colour is inconsequential, caucasics and the rest were all as black as Sydney Poiter 30.000 years ago.

Several years back I discovered that I was part Native American. The tribe is Chitimatcha, located in S. Louisiana. Some of the native words looked familiar as before we have traveled to some Mayan sites in Mexico. Wife and I started to talk about some similarities between the two and discovered this:

Yes and no. Mestizo just meqns you are mix Amerindian and European and looks can vary depending on genetics and who you married having more Amerindian kr European genes. But you ha e ethnic enclaves in big cities where people from Europe, Asia, and Middle East immigrated and still married within their ethnicity or race amd are either naturalized Mexicans or borm Mexican due to being born and growing up there.
Mexico had an immigration wave in the 20th century.
Most people will love to point out the differences between a German and an Italian, but when it comes to Native Americans, they are just all little brown Indians, all the same.
Racism plays a huge factor in anything having to do with Native Americans in the Americas- their medical knowledge isnt 'serious' medicine, their languages are dialects, etc...etc....
Sad but true.
It is usually people of very obvious Indian descent that try to say they are all the same...
