Some places would be more Spanish than others. Chiapas less than, say, Sonora. This isn't hard. We're talking an average here. Similarly, I am more English than Mike Tyson. In the time of Thomas Jefferson, as Chesterton noted, Virginia could still be said to look something like an English countryside. But after the influx of Slavs, say, he noted the Anglo-Saxon character of the US had declined.

Mexico specifically, like the former Spanish colonies in Latin America generally, is a place where Spain imposed a dominant culture. To varying degrees this holds everywhere. Certainly nationally. Though it is 'pluricultural' or some such officially. And to be clear it is a matter that extends well beyond how many injuns are in this or that family tree.
