Why are people cool with Aztec human sacrifice and not Spanish colonialism?

The Chinese discovered the americas in like 800.

I thought they discovered the Americas in the 14th century?

[snoopy369]

800, 14th century, same thing...

[MrFun]

800, 14th century, same thing...

My bad for splitting hairs.

Also, it would be the 15th century, if you're going based on the "1421: The Year China Discoverd America" theory.

[MrFun]

ah yeah - I meant 15th century

[Kidlicious]

ah yeah - I meant 15th century

Of course, because you have a Masters in History.

Are you arguing that Americans' celebration of Columbus Day proves that the Americans celebrating Counter-Columbus Day are actually celebrating Aztec human sacrifice?

So that whole thing about USAians eating human heart quesadillas is a myth then...

Shucks. When we celebrate Her Madge the Queen's birthday, we like to do British royal things like behead supernumerary wives, stick red hot pokers up the bottoms of people named Edward, or kill ourselves with a surfeit of lampreys.
