If I understand your question correctly the phrase “like mexicans” is used to indicate what people from Mexico have as a culture.
If you were used that phrase in Mexico it would probably get a negative meaning due to our self deprecation in some matters like doing things on time and such. However it could also have a positive meaning depending on the context and place you use it. How Donal Trump would use the phrase would differ radically than how someone that respects our culture would.
So I would answer that the central idea is “how mexicans are different from us”
