Joseph,

Given the multi-cultural basis (Spanish, African, and Native-American Indian) of the 
Mexican people and the super multi-cultural basis (Cro-Magnon, Phoenician, Greek, 
Celtic, Basque, Roman, Visigoth, Jewish, North African Berber, Arab, etc.) of the Iberian 
peninsula people, you can probably call yourself anything you wish and probably be 
correct.

Furthermore, you can see that the "sangre limpia" of the "Spaniards" was cr-p.

Scientifically and with respect to your Y-DNA, however, I agree with Victor. Your Y-DNA is 
Celtic, for lack of a better definition. Stay tuned. The Y-DNA definitions and associations 
will undoubtedly change, just like the borders of every country that has ever existed.

Shalom (aka, "peace", goodbye),
