Mario Vargas Llosa Quote

Hay países latinoamericanos ⎯⎯México es el mejor ejemplo⎯⎯ en que aún ahora los «españoles» son severamente recriminados por lo que «hicieron» a los indios. ¿Ellos lo hicieron? No. Lo hicimos nosotros. Somos, también, los hijos, nietos y bisnietos de aquellos recios aventureros que llegaron a nuestras playas, se avecindaron en nuestras selvas y montañas, y nos dieron los nombres que llevamos, el idioma en que nos comunicamos y la religión que practicamos. Ellos también nos legaron la costumbre de endosarle al diablo la responsabilidades de todas las barbaridades que cometemos.
