you know, there are threads on FR where even posting something like that in spanish, might get you lynched. that makes me sad. and i avoid those threads like the plague!
Um...not sure if I've offended. Sorry for that, I was just giving Old Mexico a little love on their Day of Victory at the expense of the French. All the derogatories were aimed at the French, who I thought were still fair game here at FR.
The Mexicans referred to themselves at that time as "sons of the raped one". It was a bitter badge (steenkeen badges!) they wore with honor in defense of their Motherland. Meant as an epithet hurled at the Mexica, they in turn, ameliorated its meaning by embracing their "mixed" status, adpoting the phrase, and fighting for their freedom from foreign tyranny.
