Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: 50% Mexican
25% Spanish
25% Italian

Father = 50% Spain, 50% Mexico
Mother = 50% Italian, 50% Mexico

Rule of Thumb here: if 2 different races mix, cut each in half and give to the child. if 2 of the same race mix, give 100% of that race to the child. In this case:

50% Spanish + 50% Italian = 25% Spanish, 25% Italian
50% Mexican + 50% Mexican = 50% Mexican
