Oh Good God, that sounds horrid. But agreed. I also love how people seem to ignore that non-Western nations could be every iota as bad, exploitive, and imperialistic (and in many cases worse *Cough China Cough Ottoman Empire Cough*) as anything to come out of the West.

And lemme guess about your professor: he conveniently ignored the fact that the "White Man's Plot to Steal Texas" was part of a ton of wider revolts against a series of unconstitutional, despotic military regimes in Mexico City, and that multiple Mexicans (the Republic of the Yucatan, a lot of the elites in California) actually sided with  the "Whites" against Santa Anna?

Yeah, figures. You have my sympathies.
