Mexico Demands Spain Apologize for Colonial Abuse of Indigenous People.
I agree that Spain's actions call for an apology, but Spaniards were not the first conquerors to oppress people in what is now Mexico. That was standard practice in the region before they arrived. At least the kings of Spain tried to restrain the cruelest practices (though with little effect).
I call on Mexico to apologize also, for the Mexicas' practice of conquering many other indigenous peoples, and using large numbers of them for human sacrifices and then as food.
Nowadays, things are different: the elite Mexicans recruit enforcers from among the poor Mexicans to oppress the rest of the Mexicans. Giving Mexico real democracy includes putting an end to this.
