If that were the case, they would not have looked up at Cortes as a God because of his light skin.
However, I am not arguing about exact racial makeup, I am making a point about identity. |
No, you do not. I just pointed out that I'm not disputing what you said.
The God-Cortez thing however I will dispute, since Cortez was never thought of as a God. This is a post-conquest myth perpetuated by the Spanish as a testament to their superiority of the natives.
