I saw a little of The Legend of Zorro, and the political undertones bothered me. They definitely were playing on the idea of white supremacists trying to keep down the Mexicans (in this case, Californians before Statehood).

Okay, but notice that they did make the Californios very pro-US, and their enemies had to be very anti-US and pro-French, as well as anti-Latino.

I don't know if the Californios were so much in favor of statehood in the actual historical record, but in a way LOZ was a very pro-American film, in spite of the ethnic angle.

That's encouraging. I did not stick with it long enough take that from it, and I am glad there is that angle.

Thanks.
