"Most Hispanics are about 70-75% Spanish heritage, and 25-30% Native American.
Problem is “Spanish” means European which means “white.” So they have to pretend that their majority ethnicity component doesn’t exist; and the “Aztlan” types in the US act like the Europeans in North America are interlopers against whom they are opposed; problem is, they are the interlopers themselves. They are the descendants of the European conquerors, no less so than the “Anglos” north of the border.
But that fact doesn’t match the narrative, so is swept under the rug.
There are many other problems with their story, such as the fact that California and most of the Southwest were only part of Mexico for a brief 25 years (1821-46), while having been part of Spain for several centuries beforehand, and then an independent nation for a short time, and afterward part of the United States for 162 years.
Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, Alta California was very sparsely populated, and the natives here had no knowledge of nor any interaction with the Aztecs or any other Mexican native tribes. So why these people who claim partial descent from Aztecs should have ownership rights to a bit of territory their ancestors never controlled or even heard of, and which was part of Mexico for just a tiny handful of years since 1492 — well, nobody knows."
