The primary settlers of the Southwest region were Hispanics and Anglos. To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the options given and eliminate the ones that are incorrect.
Option 1: Chinese and Hispanics - Chinese immigrants did not significantly settle in the Southwest region. While there were some Chinese immigrants who settled in other parts of the United States, such as California during the Gold Rush, they were not the primary settlers in the Southwest.
Option 2: Anglos and Mexicanos - This option correctly identifies Anglos (White Americans) and Mexicanos (people of Mexican descent) as the primary settlers of the Southwest. The term "Anglos" refers to Americans of English-speaking European descent.
Option 3: Hispanics and Anglos - This option correctly identifies Hispanics and Anglos as the primary settlers of the Southwest.
Option 4: Mexicanos and Chinese - While there were some settlements of Mexicanos, the Chinese did not play a significant role as settlers in the Southwest.
From the analysis, it is clear that the correct answer is Anglos and Mexicanos.
