great post i think the retort for “you stole our land” crap is this: you speak spanish? correct yes is the answer. Well it’s not your land you stole it from the original occupants.
Spain had control of the land above what is now the Mexico border for a much longer time than Mexicans did.
And the oldest remains found on the North American continent [USA] are those of a Caucasian.
The Indians were excited about finding such old remains, but were pretty mad when they found out it was their predecessor’s bones.
The Apache and Comanche killed the Mexicans whenever they could - I guess they didn't get the memo about the change of ownership. The Apache had a very high level of contempt for the Mexicans.
Mexico controlled Texas for 16 years. We beat them, paid them for it, then beat them and paid them for it again. I’m not terribly interested in pretending those 16 years trump the following 178 years (or whatever the math is there).
