Why do so many Mexicans hate their Spanish heritage and celebrate the Aztecs?

Some are more proud of their Spanish heritage and some of their native heritage. And there are LOTS of native tribes in Mexico, not all are Aztecs. I have some Mexican friends who love their native heritage and some their Spanish. Or both.

Umm no they do not. They seem to be proud of the Spanish language and catholic religion, their Spanish hertiage. Some Mexicans are very Eurocentric, but there are others on the other side (but there are many very Eurocentric Mexicans). You have never seen what some will say about Indigenous Mexicans, have you? If Mexico hates its European heritage, then why the hell do the Indigenous Mexican receive discrimination in Mexico? in language and culture. It has only been within a couple of decades when Mexicans really has began respecting the Indigenous heritage.

Because it brings up the fact that the Spanish destroyed their culture and forced their own upon the Aztecs. I appreciate both my sides, but there are some Mexicans who harbor anger towards that.

-_- "mexicans" aren't just aztecs you know that right? where my parents were from, the native people are Tarascan, the tarascan were never conquered by the aztecs.

I'm Mexican and I'm just proud of MEXICAN culture. Neither Native nor Spanish. It's a mix and blend of both. Neither one or the other.

The Spaniards did not conquer the Aztecs alone. They had help from other tribes too. Textbooks should provide this fact.

I have a few Mexican friends, all of which love their Spanish ancestry, along with their Native ancestry.

umm no you only see the sh!t in usa in mexico we are not like that we embrace so much are spanish side then you could imagine... for example north mexicans and westers are from 50-70% spaniard

I'm proud of both.

Most Mexicans are not that big of a mix of Spanish and Amerindian. Most of them are definitely have more Native blood in them.
