This is a really interesting comment. Sometimes when I see photos of native people from South America (especially anything Amazonian), they do look a bit South East Asian to me. Do you think those people that you saw in Mexico were mixed (or fully) native (not European by descent)?
Asians and indigenous people from the Americas are somewhat closely related (the Americas were populated from Asia not too terribly long ago, about 20,000 years), so it makes sense.
