Answer:

His Mexican-American identity is avowed identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is avowed identity because is the identity he gives or claims for himself, but his friends give them an ascribed identity because based on their opinions he is more "white" so they already placed a cultural identity for him. I hope my answer is correct!
