The only way AOC's attempt to distinguish "Spanish" from "Mexican" culture makes sense is if she was referring to the indigenous culture, and so that is what I was doing here.Mexico, the modern country, despite its name, reflects much more Spanish than indigenous culture. Its main religion and language both came from Spain. Its legal system came from Spain, in turn being a variety of the old Roman law ...
