Oh, well, I am European so to me Americas are the "new continent" - though not to Mayas.
(And it was not called a new continent when early European explorers initially thought they found a new route to India, as India was a part of old continent. Besides, it is easy to accuse of ignorance people who had no way of knowing any better - they had no advanced positioning devices at that time, so please take things into their historical perspective)
I do not need to deny my own ancestry to be able to acknowledge the rights of the Mayas - and other indigenous people - and assist in fighting for them, do I?
As for Spain: yes, I am aware of the problems there, however, I would be a snow bird - or an expat there: not looking for employment, not taking any jobs from anybody - on the contrary - like all other Northern Europeans I would be bringing money (and employment opportunities) to Spain.
Not only in the form of our pensions, but also in the form of generous reimbursements from our - richer - countries for the cost of our health care, medications and any other services.
Spain needs retirees, both full time expats and snowbirds. And so does Greece, but poor Greece has a misfortune of having a different alphabet, not only a different language, so it has a lot less expats than Spain.
