I have a better example for the United States. Back in the 1990's there was this small push of "pretendians" or fake Native American heritage in European Americans. It was kinda hip for a while, lots of people claimed "my great, great, great, great, great grandpappy who settled here married and Indian, I'm 1/124th Cherokee, and I have like an animal spirit or some shit and am really in tune with nature or something" along with spirit catcher, ugly graphic t shirts, and a "See, I'm not pure white, isn't that unique and special, pay attention to me!"
Strange thing was, no matter where these people were or what tribes they lived near ( I think there are like 500 recognized tribes in the US) they were always Cherokee. Many did it for purely material gain (think Elizabeth Warren and scholarships, or people faking lineage to get Indian money, free health care, benefits), some did it because it was a retarded phase, others had a deeper angle such as "southern whites all have a nigger in the woodpile and midwestern whites all had a grandpappy who married an Indian, so everyone is a mud person and we are all now the same exact American", or others claiming that so many whites were "Indian" in part to the point that whites had inherited the Indian claim and thus helped to legitimize Manifest Density.
In any case, it always amazed me how many damned Cherokees there were. Kinda like your "everyone's Aztec" thing with Mexico. In any case…
Mexico has many different indiginous people, certainly, some in latin American still face genocide. Amazing to see how many folks forget that the Tlexecans made the bulk of the army that defeated the Aztecs. Propaganda is propaganda, always full of shit and false "unity", often insulting other people by obscuring one people with another for a common identity.
Mexico's, as well as other Latin American places, suffer much more from interbreeding than the US or Canada for the most part. One thing that is true about whites that married Native Americans is that they tended to either move onto the reservation and become more Indian and had families that married more Indians till they were an Indian family, or they went European and their children married pure European until 5-8 generations later they were effectively "white" Europeans. This made sure that one group kept their tribal Indian identity, the other became more Anglo-American 'white". Each had an identity.
The mixed blood has always suffered the long term effects of identity crisis. While the pure blood Aztec is an Aztec, the old pure blood Spaniards are elite Spaniards, the mestizo is who? He has no real identity, he lives a minor crisis. He loses identity, becomes estranged from both or all of his lineages of blood and ethnicity and becomes a mud person with no culture or community. He's not really Mezo American, he's not really European, he's not really black or Asian, he becomes lost. He is isolated and lacks common bonds with other human beings.
This is the biggest problem of Latin America. You can unite Japanese people, Norwegian people, Russian people, Turkic people, Bantu people, REAL Cherokees, REAL Aztecs, you can bind them together. But the mixed bloods lack affinity for anyone. Instead of gaining love and affinity towards their parent people's, they tend to grow distant at best and hostile at worst.
Watch the favela, see the incredible amount of diversity that is there. There is your "utopian" diversity. Nobody likes anybody, everyone works against everyone, nobody cares when someone gets murdered or robbed because there is no commonality. Just the crab pot of people pulling each other down.
"Diversity is strength" is the truest 1984 statement, a complete lie. What true brotherhood is there in Mexico? Brazil? Won't the US become the next diverse shithole once it loses its Anglo-American fake culture?
The issue bothers me to no end.
