But was Zapata a Robin Hood, or was he a heroic crook whose history is being redefined?

You're thinking about Pancho Villa. He robbed people to give to his soldiers and was a crook and a murderer.

Zapata was imaged as a hero, but he really is being reconstructed by the academic American Left to suit their “fluid sexuality culture.” I do not respect revisionist history much, or the erection of ex pat Mexican nationalism is Texas.

Many Mexicans think the hero’s machismo and heroic rep are hollow.Making him into an American hero? Nah!
