Note Mexican is a nationality, not a race or ethnic group. Actually, Mexican people can have several ethnicities, such as white, Native American, a mix known as "mestizo" and even Arab or Asian.

Most Mexican people is already mestizo, or a mix of European and Native American. So the ethnicity would be 3/4 Native American, 1/4 European of Spanish ancestry.

Remember that "Mexican" is a nationality; not a race. You are asking something akin to "What do you call a half Native American, half American?"

Legally, that person would be Mexican or Mexican-American with no specific distinction of race. Now, considering the three largest ethnic groups in Mexico include Native Americans, people of European ancestry and a mix of both -- known as mestizo, who comprise the majority of the population -- this person would be also considered a mestizo.

Some examples of these include American celebrities Benjamin Bratt (Quechua Indian), Jimi Hendrix (Cherokee), Lou Diamond Phillips (Cherokee), Heather Locklear (Lumbee), or Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers band (Mohican).
