Word games begin. For most people race is white / Asian / black / other. You see something like that on every application form asking about race. I've never seen "Mexican" as an answer to the race question. http://mortgageporter.com/images/old/6a00d834522f5769e20133f6172144970b-pi.png http://mortgageporter.com/images/old/6a00d834522f5769e20133f... http://lensnola.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fact-sheet-detail.png http://lensnola.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2... The term you're looking for is not "racist", but "nationalist". You could probably call Trump that, though I don't think he made any statements about all of Mexicans, most of his drivel is about the illegal immigrants coming from Mexico.

No, bigotry based on nationality is called "racism", based on the broader definition of race that the one used on census forms already referenced upthread; this usage is well-established. "Nationalism" means something different, and not inherently bigoted, though nationalism is often accompanied by racism, and some "brands" of nationalism are quite racist (e.g., the white nationalism of Steve Bannon, Trump's new Chief Strategist.)
