I remember my dad telling me back in the 70's that people from Mexico don't like to be called "Mexicans". They prefer to be referred to as "Hispanic". And that was back when we didn't even know what PC was. Among other things, it probably has something to do with the consensus that Mexican Spanish occupies the bottom rung on the ladder of Spanish dialects. It's like the redneck English spoken in most of the South.
