Umm. Spaniards? Duh?How the fuck is Mexico a "colonialist country"?
Most of the upper echelons are still mostly European, vs. the lower classes which are either Mestizo or straight Native.
My family lived down there for several months when I was still pretty small. My family hired a maid (and apparently overpaid by a huge amount, but this was back before Mexico reset their currency in the late 80's so a peso was only a couple of cents American), and my Aunt asked if she spoke Spanish. My Aunt had married a Mexican (some rich guy related to the ruling group at the time) and had been given a maid as a wedding present who only spoke some obscure native dialect, while my Aunt knew Spanish and English, and it was a bit of a learning experience for both.
