Was this not the culture that was viewed as a bunch of peaceful astronomical calendar watchers until a wall painting depicting blood sacrifices and bloody wars?

I sat at a lunch table once listening to a radical feminist protest how oppressive the Spanish were when they invaded Mexico. When I pointed out to her that the Spanish received help from tribes who were the sacrificial victims in Aztec religious festivals where they ritually murdered thousands at a time, including roasting and eating the victims, she said that this was okay because they were of the same race and therefore not racist.

She was a political science major. What a wasted education of time and money and a mind.

What the poli sci professor overlooked was that the Aztecs did not consider their victims from other tribesto be of the same "race" and were therefore guilty of racist thinking.

You sure there was a mind there to waste?
