White people (or simply whites) is a term which is usually used to refer to human beings characterized, at least in part, by the light pigmentation of their skin. It can sometimes refer narrowly to people of European ancestry. A broader racial concept uses "white" as a synonym for Caucasian. People from the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and northwestern parts of Indian Subcontinent may also be considered "white" under the latter usage. |

With a population 103,263,388 in 2005, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world, the second-most populous country in Latin America after Portuguese-speaking Brazil, and the second in North America, after the United States. Throughout most of the twentieth century Mexico's population was characterized by rapid growth. Even though this tendency has been reverted and average annual population growth over the last five years was less than 1%, the demographic transition is still in progress, and Mexico still has a large cohort of youths. The most populous city in the country is the capital city, Mexico City, with a population of 8.7 million (2005), and its metropolitan area is also the most populous in the country with 19.2 million (2005). Approximately 50% of the population lives in one of the 55 large metropolitan areas in the country.
