The Mayans and the Aztecs did NOT have wheels. Hard to believe. Cortez conquered four million savages with like 800 of his sea-faring Mexicanos.

"Traces of the Aztec (Mexica) people are very much alive today, primarily through the Nahua people, a large indigenous group in Mexico (over 1.5 million) who speak Nahuatl (the Aztec language), maintain traditions, and are direct descendants, though their genetic makeup is a blend of pre-Hispanic and European/African ancestry due to colonization. Their cultural legacy also influences modern Mexico, from language to archaeology, and many Mexicans have significant Indigenous ancestry, with DNA studies showing high proportions of Native American DNA in populations like Mexico City.
Who Are the Descendants?

Nahua People: The most direct descendants, living in rural Mexico, farming, practicing crafts, and blending Nahuatl language and traditions with Catholicism.
General Mestizo Population: Most Mexicans have mixed ancestry, with significant Indigenous roots (often Nahua/Mexica) alongside European and African heritage. "


They "maintain traditions"?  What? Like eating hearts and human sacrifice?

It's interesting. Cuba is an Island so they are different than Mexicans or South Americans. Cubans are mostly white of Spanish derivation. There was a small native population and also African slaves added to that mix. But the differences are noticable. Too bad they remain ideological pariahs at the governmental level. By now it's kind of ridiculous.

Actually, Cubans are more similar to us than Puerto Ricans. What's Puerto Rico? Mulatto pirates?

You guys realize those are cops, right? Cops will shoot you for a lot less than that.

That's what they count on.

I read that something like 50 people a year are electrocuted trying to steal copper power lines from utility poles in Detroit. Dozens others are injured. Imagine being that stupid and amoral.
