If its wrong for Americans to call the US "their land" since it was stolen from the Natives, does that mean Mexico doesnt belong to Spanish people?

Since they stole it from the Aztecs who owned it long before the current day Mexican people ever did?

Mexico doesn't belong to the Spanish people, I'm pretty sure Spain would fully agree with that...

Your argument is pretty bad...

That being said, it doesn't matter who owned a land, it matters about whom controls it now. Possession is 9/10 of the law.

@Viper My argument is only as "bad" as the same argument that is made to suggest indigenous people still own the Americas.

@MickRogers Nope yours is worse because Spain literally has zero claim to modern Mexico... so that's even less accurate.

It's like saying the USA does not belong to the British people because they got it from Native American...

Well no duh the USA doesn't belong to the British, even the British don't claim to control the USA.

It's clearly a different argument, because you used Spain instead of Mexican.
