In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny

I noticed they are so proud of their historical heritage the speak the language of the Conquistadores.

If they want to speak their language, let them speak Aztec.

Otherwise, they are just asserting the language of those who really conquered them.

Who, by the way, looted their treasures, etc., etc., etc.

Are they going to cut the hearts out of their losing ball teams?

Joe, the Spaniards defeated the Aztecs and the Incas by forging alliances with the tribes that both of these warlike imperialist tribes had subjugated.

In fact, the indigenous people looked upon the Spaniards as liberators .... for while! And give those nasty, greedy conquistadores some credit, at least they ended human sacrifice, and ublike the English colonists, they had no racist scruples about taking the native girls as legitimate brides ... sometimes!
