Question

If American are considered immigrants because our ancestors are from Europe , then wouldn't Mexicans be considered evil because the azteks practiced canibalism ?

Answer 1

Aztecs never practiced cannibalism. Another person with lies in order to give out their racist point of view.

Hexador, (OMG Im still in awe) where did the Aztecs came from then? The Big Bang Theory?

Answer 2

Well, as usual everybody gets it wrong. There never were any tribes called "Aztecs", they called themselves "Mexica"; Aztec is a name invented by a flemish historian.

Now, The Mexica were way more civilized than their north american cousins, at least they devised some kind of writting, but there are proofs and testimonials regarding their anthropophagic customs. It has nothing to do with today's Mexicans, they are the result of the mix between Spanish, Moorish, Mexica, Maya, Toltec, Chichimeca and some others.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico, the north american indians were considered savages by the Mexica (or so called Aztecs), and most of the peoples in northern mexico were too. The mexica built an empire based on taxing these peoples, by goods or by people, to be sacrificed, an eaten.

Cortes tried to change their fondnes of anthropophagy by swithcing their source of meat to pigs, since one of his Generals, Pedro de Alvarado tried human flesh and reported that it tasted very much alike to pig flesh. In his fourth letter to the Emperor Charles V, Hernan Cortes relates this, and asks the Emperor to send pigs. Which was done immediatelly. Up to this day, most of Mexican food involving pig meat, is still the same recepie as done by the Mexica or other tribes. "Carnitas", which is deep fried pork meat, Pozole, which is a soup made with pork meat, and some others are very fond of the Mexican People, yet very few of them know about the origin of their diet.

For them canibalism was not a form of evil. It had lots of religious implications, although Cortes and his men thought it to be a sign of terrible evil and sin, which deserved punishment.

All of this happened more than 100 years before the Mayflower landed in Plymouth, and at that time, and until the XIX, Mexico remained a very important piece of world politics, and it became a major power in the last quarter of the same century. As with every other country, the revolution, which in Mexico happened in 1910, destroyed everything, and ever since, Mexico has been our favorite loser.

Answer 3

What does one point have to do with the other? You may not understand geography very well, but Mexicans are from America, and Aztecs practiced ritual killing for their religion as did the Celts, and neither were or are considered evil.

Answer 4

Whatever on ancestors we are all here now this ancestors is nothing but a vain effort from Mexicans unhappy they have to go home never said anything until they heard deport now it's all about it's their land. Wonder why they use OUR money on their Land . Why do they send OUR money not of their land but OURS to Mexico.Only land they care about is the one who has the freebies.

Answer 5

properly i think that would make experience if our ancestors coming right here and slaughtering all the harmless people as a manner to acquire land became remarkable interior the 1st place. The pilgrims got here right here and settled on land that became no longer at present occupied (the occupants died of ailments delivered by utilising the whites, a terrible project yet no longer one that we knew something approximately on the time) and that i think of we are able to all agree that for there toddlers to kill the community individuals as a manner to enhance there borders became incorrect. i do no longer relatively care in the event that they stay abode or come right here, yet they could abide by utilising the regulations of the country. i be responsive to, the "Pilgrims" did no longer have visas, yet visas weren't precisely required lower back then. So i think in case you have confidence that we had the remarkable to homicide adult males women and youngsters, to unfold epidemics as a manner to win wars, and to all around be dirt, then you relatively are remarkable. in case you think of that possibly we could consistently have shared the land and are available up with undemanding regulations that anybody could desire to maintain on with and lived at the same time in peace then possibly the illegals could save on with the undemanding regulations and get a damn visa. "is you will possibly" ha ha i like it whilst people screw up there grammar at the same time as yelling approximately different peoples grammar. And the land that the Pilgrims settled on became unoccupied, something of the country became particularly occupied, despite if the tribe which had lived interior the area around the place the pilgrims settled had died off from a virulent disease carried over by utilising white adult males. "the 1st settlement of the colony became "New Plymouth", later Plymouth, Massachusetts. the positioning, conventional to the Wampanoag as "Patuxet", had at present been abandoned following a scourge possibly the two measles or smallpox."

Answer 6

If one is born here, they are not an immigrant. Just because one's ancestors were immigrants, does not make that person an immigrant themself.

Answer 7

The land that the Mexicans were on was stolen from the Indians, and the Mexican population was not that big in the first place most still lived in Mexico. Aztecs were never native to America, only the American Indians were.

Answer 8

I think that was the Incas , not the Aztecs .
