Ah....Spanish conquerors....the guys from Spain that invaded and killed off the Mayans and Aztecs and indigenous peoples with the first “white mans disease”....

Hanta virus did the killing ~ not anything the Spanish did. Has a 95% mortality rate ~ bad stuff.

Regarding Salazar, that's an old noble name. SAL isn't about salt, it's about SA LA or The Flag ~ for the line of march of the heavy mounted knights who fought against the Moors.

See, knowledge of a bit of Cornish is good for a man.

Now, about the Salazar family being north of today's border, there are even old Spanish families who stayed behind in what is now Virginia as the Spanish pulled out in the late 1500 to early 1600 period. One gentleman named Cruz became Crews. Today they don't know if they start with a Spaniard or an Englishman (bwahahahahaha).

American history is full of Spaniards keeping their land as the English wave swept over them, and then, taking up the American interest against the English.

Nothing wrong with having a Breton or Cornish knight in your ancestry down in El Andaluz killing Moslem invaders (took 700 years though, long fight eh).

Ken Salazar is not "Hispanic" he is a Spaniard Conquistador.

I have known people from Germany and Poland who are darker skinned than ol' Ken Salsa-Czar.

The Ruling Class in Mexico are heavily populated by "White Spaniard Conquistador" types.

The Mestizos are very heavily discriminated against IN Mexico. And the same whitey Spaniards whine when we want to deport ANY Mexican despite their background as racist? Gimme a damn break.

A lot of people immigrating across Mexico's southern border are very Mestizo and the Mexican government is very brutal with those illegals, Mexico can shut the hell up about us deporting illegals, we only deport them, we don't rob and kill them like the Mexican government does. Remind you, A Mexican government ran by "White Racist Spaniards".

Dunno ‘bout the Mayans, but killing off the human-sacrificing, cannibalistic empire of the Aztecs was a GOOD thing.

Can you imagine things if there were still “fundamentalist Aztecs” loose? We’d have liberal insisting that they were protected by the First Amendment and demanding that we respect their beliefs and culture.
