Maybe you misunderstood me so I'll explain further. It is impossible to be "half Mexican and half white" because the term Mexican denotes a persons nationality not their Race and I am a United Sates citizen and so was my father and mother. New Spain was ruled by Spain and encompassed Texas but then became Mexico later. My mothers family originally owned land and lived on both sides of the Rio Grand which is now in two nations(countries) so I have relatives who live in both nations but they never moved anywhere after the 1500's instead the borders of the nations moved.
More correctly I am half Hispanic meaning they immigrated to the Americas from a Spanish speaking nation(Spain) and Dutch on my fathers side meaning they spoke Dutch(old Dutch). To make it even more complicated many of my family members are of the Hebrew race but lived in Amsterdam,Spain ect. before migrating to New Spain,United states,Mexico ect. after the discovery of the Americas.
