I'm not defending the likes of Cortez or the Spanish conquistadors, but it was a savage and brutal period of history. We shouldnt kid ourselves about the people that were conquered. They were far less civilized, they kept slaves, did human sacrifice, they ate the dead, etc. Comanches, and Aztecs have a particularly cruel history.
All these people up in arms now claiming to be offended, saying their people were conquered is a joke. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts they have far more Spanish DNA than "indigenous" DNA.

Trying to claim he's a product from a city 300 years ago and not the product of the colonization.
