English and French colonists did not mix a lot with other races, unlike Spanish colonists. There are many exceptions, like the Métis in Canada, but that did not happen very often. Later, the US and Canada received various waves of immigrants from Europe, making multi-racial people an even smaller portion of the population. In recent years, multi-racial couples have increased. This happened mostly because interracial unions were illegal in some states (examples include Virginia's Racial Integrity Act of 1924) until a US Supreme Court ruling invalidated that and any similar laws. That being said, what is considered "Western" or "white" has changed over time. For instance, Italians and Irish were once not considered white. Honestly, it's not important and I strongly recommend you to stop worrying about that. I highly recommend these links if you want to explore cultural differences between US and Mexico: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuHqSHZyUMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuHqSHZyUMc - https://archinect.com/tacos/casa-vs-house-differences-in-us-and-mex-domestic-architecture https://archinect.com/tacos/casa-vs-house-differences-in-us-... Personally I think Mexico's top priority is get rid of its pseudo caste system, dominated by the descendants of Hacienda owners, nepotism and corruption.
