Are people from Mexico and Central America the same people?

No, People from Mexico are Mexicans.  People from Central America are of various nationalities, depending on which Central American country they live in.  It's true they're all Hispanics, but beyond that, they've got few similarities.

Mexica Movement is a Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) rights educational organization for the people of Mexican, "Central American", "Native American", and First Nation descent of Anahuac, in what is now called "North America". Occupied Anahuac includes the colonial nations of Canada, U.S., Mexico (also controlled by Europeans), and "Central America" (down to include "Costa Rica", which are also controlled by Europeans). "North America" is the geographical area of the culture of Anahuac, which is the culture of corn, which brought about our civilizations. We, the Nican Tlaca people of Anahuac, are one people. We are one race. We have origins in one culture. We include all Full-bloods and Mixed-bloods as Nican Tlaca. We include ourselves within all similar movements in the Western Hemisphere (meaning those now starting in "South America"). \nWe focus our work on getting the great history of our civilizations, accomplishments, and our heritage out to our people and to the rest of the world. We also work to let the world know of the European colonial crimes on our continent: the theft of our continent and its resources and the genocide that killed 95% of our people and destroyed our civilizations and culture. We do this work through lectures, outreach, protests, and this website on the internet.  \nWe are an organization that focuses on an educational solution to the injustices of European colonialism. We are for a non-violent solution, but we are aggressive in our demands for truth and justice.\n\nWe support the constitution of the United States and are not for the overthrow of any of the governments of "North America". We know that under the present governments that one day it will be possible for our people and the colonial Europeans to understand the monstrosity of the crimes of European colonialism. We know that we can reconstruct our nation and our people as Nican Tlaca, as the Anahuac nation.

I'm not Mexican, but a friend of mine's family goes back in this country to 17th-Century New Mexico.  One of her uncles, an academic and activist, was involved in the social consciousness movement of Mexican-Americans in the 1960s - and actually helped coin the term Chicano.\n\nSo, no problemo.

Well, I'm white.  My husband is from El Salvador.  And to be honest, we are ignorant.  Before I met my husband, I thought all hispanics were Mexican.  We (meaning I) don't really pay attention to the different countries in Central America...to us it's all the same.  When I met my husband, he made sure that I didn't call him 'Mexican' - and he educated me on that topic.  \nBut, we don't mean any offense by it, we just are not educated about it.  The word Mexican to us means hispanic.\nBy the way, we are not WASPS - at least us white people don't mean any offense when we say what we say, but just because most of us are ignorant doesn't make us stupid...or WASPS.  Maybe if you had a better attitude to us you would get more positive reinforcement with us.

I am an American living in Mexico. Seems to me most of the rich Mexicans are those who are mostly of Spanish heritage, not Indian.  These peole are descendents of the large landowners of the last century..have family wealth, more education. However I also know rich and middle class (financially)  people of Indian and mixed heritage.   There is not the emphasis on charity in Mexico that there is in the states.

What????\n  I am mexican, i live in mexico, we are very different from the chilean culture, our music is different, our costumes, our food, the spanish accent is different.  The only thing in common is the language, but we have different accents.  The cities are different. All the America Latina  contries are different, except for the spanish ( but we all have differents meaning words)....\nIs like say, what's the different between england culture and usa culture??

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

Everyone in the continent of America which includes north, central and south american countries are american. When I lived in Mexico the people always say themselves as being mexican but also american. the oficial name of Mexico is The United Mexican states of America. \n\nLos Estados Unidos Mexicanos de America.

You are right.\nall of them are Americans.\n\nIt has been so accepted to say it like it is today, that when ever someone like yourself raises the question, a lot of people go... mmm you are right!\nwhy is that?\n\nMaybe when all of citizens of the other countries really want them to be known as americans as well will media take that into consideration.\n\nanother mistake also:\nMexico is not Central or South America.\n\nMexico is with Canada and the USA NORTH AMERICA.\n\nHope is useful.

Basically Mexicans are from Mexico. Latino generally represents people from South America. You know - Brazil, Portugal, Chile etc.
