  No, they didn’t call themselves “Mexica”.

  They didn’t use the letters “M”, “e”, “x”, “i”, “c”, or even “a”.

  Regardless, the term “Mexica” and all of those English letters were made up by someone.

    if you would have read the artical that I liked you could indeed see they called themselves Mexica (even if I must use these letters to represent the sounds). They never used the work Aztecs, its just a dumbing down for people, which seems it was needed, but still whitewashing.

      I don’t need to read the article you linked, because SOMEONE made up the term “Mexica”, just like someone made up the term “Aztec”.

      Dumbing down for people, indeed. It’s all over your head, sad really

        How dare I ask you to do some small bit of research about topics that you post on, I mean why discuss them in hernest when you could just be like, nah, they dont get a voice in their own history.

        The ones you were speaking of, did speak a language (again in the article) and did trake over the region you are speaking about, but I am sure you are just used to running ramshot over others, your ancestors have been doing it for so long its one of the only hallmarks of culture you can pull from.
