The whole idea "races" is extremely dubious in the first place. The idea of an ethnicity is much more vaguely defined and far more dubious from a scientific perspective. Of course, yeah, people can ignorantly believe that there would be some genetic commonality, significantly different from other folks' genetics, to ethnicities that would make them inferior/superior to other ethnicities, but on the other hand, people could believe equally ignorant things about nationalities, vocations, and all sorts of other classifications that they could be bigoted against. So by equal rights you might call someone "racist against doctors," but that would be encouraging stupidity, wouldn't it?
Also, "Mexican" as an ethnicity rather than a nationality is extremely vague.
