3. The Mayans did fight the Spanish on the Yucatan

Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 04:13 AM by SemiCharmedQuark

See Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Conquest_of_Yucatan#Final_conquests_.281540.E2.80.9346.29

And while I can't speak for all Mexicans, I can say that my family and I, on both sides of the border, are ashamed of our Spanish blood. Maybe it is easier for us because the Spanish blood we have comes from a rapist.

"This is especially true since the Mayan civilization had collapsed centuries earlier, with the Mayans no longer prominent anywhere. It was the Aztecs who greeted the Spaniards, not the Mayans."
