Mexicans
Citizens of Monterrey
Mexicans are people from Mexico or of Mexican descent.
The term functions as both a noun and an adjective, referring to the nationality, ethnicity, culture, or citizenship of individuals connected to the North American country.
In the United States, where Mexicans and Mexican Americans form the largest Latino population, the term appears frequently in discussions of immigration, cuisine, and cultural identity.
Many Mexicans celebrate Día de los Muertos.
