Modern progressive discourse argues that when the west exports their culture it is native-erasure and neo-colonialism(ie racist). So I think your argument is very much up for debate. Sometimes a part of someone's culture is trash. Sure the Mayans built cool temples, but they were also ultra violent.

It sure sounds a lot like you are defending pedos here...

Why would you think Mayans are any more violent than other contemporary or later civilizations?

The reputation of the Mayans was of large scale human sacrifice. As I am not a historian I have no idea how accurate this reputation is, but that reputation is a reason for thinking they were more violent than the average contemporary or later civilisations…

…although now I realise I have no idea how it compares to the mass burning of suspected witches in parts of europe.

"Modern progressive discourse" is an US culture export. Also is using "racism" as a substitute for "bad".

And what would be a pedo by US standards might be legal and fine in other countries (looking at Japan lolicon situation).
