Mexico’s heterogeneity finds its roots in history. The Spanish conquest gave rise to the nation’s largest ethnic group, mestizos—persons of mixed indigenous and European blood—who now comprise 60% of the population. Today, criollos—light-skinned Mexicans of pure European descent—make up around 9% of the population, localized in urban areas and in the North. Indígenas—sometimes referred to by the politically incorrect appellation indios—account for 30% of the population and make up the majority in rural areas, particularly in the southern half of the country.
