Conversation between white and spanish (immigration)?

The Americas prior to the arrival of Europeans were inhabited by countless distinct tribes that sometime fought and sometimes got along. The Aztec empire was, in fact, a colonial power that subjugated, enslaved, and economically exploited weaker tribes. Saying that a Mixteco speaker from Oaxaca who moves to eastern Virginia, home of the Powhatans before the English came, is reclaiming his ancestral land is absolute rubbish. Mixtecos and Powhatans are as different as the English and the Turks. Learn the history of the Americas, please, thank you.
