My sources for this estimate:
  • Based on the DNA results (AncestryDNA & 23andMe) I've seen on Reddit, as well as my matches on 23andMe & AncestryDNA.
  • The Mexicans & Mexican-Americans I see on a daily basis.
  • Videos from different parts of Mexico on Youtube.
  • Genetic Studies on Mexicans & Mexican-Americans.
