America Stole Everything
... and oppressed everyone and that's why we're strong*. At least that's what my kids learned in Social Studies in grade school. But that leads me to this question:

Those crazy Aztecs - they really knew how to rock and roll all night and party every day!

White Euro Males are worse because they killed Azetc priests when they wouldn't stop worshiping!

Here's another P.C. dodge: At the same time the Aztecs were sacrificing human, Europeans were burning witches. Mesoamericans killed people for religious reasons, Europeans killed people for religious reasons. Just a variation on the same tune and no reason to prefer one culture over another.
