Mexico is a mongrel state. As far as I'm aware interracial relationships were not frowned upon in the good old days so the lower and middle classes of New Spain mingled with each other.
Case in point (they are not from Mexico, but the picture perfectly illustrates the point being made):
Mexico has no specific race. Casta system is the one thing they'll try to stick to each other. However there is usually talk and jokes about who is the brownest in a group. There's just a general association of retardation with people who look more native.
If you tell a random Mexican they are white they will look at you like a retard. An Euro-Mestizo will 100% believe they are the same race as an Indo-Mestizo, but only when its convenient.
According to a book Henry Louis Gates Jr. wrote about blacks in Latin America, virtually everyone in Mexico has some black ancestry because of the magnitude of slaves and the unrestricted interracial marriages.
There were many more slaves brought to Mexico than the US but there are only 1.4 million blacks in Mexico. The reason is they all bred into the general gene pool in a way not even seen in Brazil.
That's what you think lel.

Aren't many Mexicans ignorant and believe that the South European look is local to the region?

In Mexico, I assume.
In my opinion, since Mexico is majority mestizo and a former Spanish, Indo-Mestizos might be discriminated by Criollos/Castizos, but these last two have no problem mixing if they belong to the same social class, these telenovela stuffs.

Same for average Brazilians, when it comes to Med/Southern Euro phenotypes. Normal people care more about telenovela and football than history, so they don't think Meds/Berids are European faces, unless the person that looks like it is wholly descendant from recent Euros.
