Mexico is NOT a settler colony. The Mexico of the 1800s was in constant war after many attempts of the US, the spanish and the french to recolonize the country. It was born out of the struggle of indigenous people against spanish colonization. The many contradictions of the time led to a century of chaos across the country and constant invasions by the US, the spanish and the french and each would be met with fierce resistance by the people and leaders like Benito Juarez which himself was an indigenous man. This chaos would only end in the violent “peace” of Diaz and the mexican bourgeoisie in collaboration with the international bourgeoisie of the US and France, but that would only be the cause of an even more intensified struggle that ended in the Revolution of 1910. The revolutionaries of the time after the revolution were a mixed bag, but thanks to people like Villa, Zapata or Cardenas many agrarian movements achieved huge gains in favor of the indigenous people. Today Mexico is still struggling against capital and US domination. We are a multinational country in which the majority at the very least are mestizos descended from indigenous people that were never exterminated by the spanish. Unlike the US where white people achieved ethnic hegemony thanks to genocide and slavery.
