MEL GIBSON IS RACIST, PART TWO

Indigenous activists in Guatemala, once home to a large part of the Mayan empire, say that Mel Gibsons new movie “Apocalypto" is racist.   Mayan leaders say scenes of scary-looking Mayans with bone piercings and scarred faces hurling spears and sacrificing humans promote stereotypes about their culture.  Spell-check magnet Ignacio Ochoa said:

"Gibson replays, in glorious big budget Technicolor, an offensive and racist notion that Maya people were brutal to one another long before the arrival of Europeans…"

And Mayan human rights activist Lucio Yaxon agrees:

"Basically the director is saying the Mayans are savages."

Wait, are Mayans even a race?  Can you be racist to someone if they're not even a race.  Well, it turns out I don't care, but look Lucio, Mayans did sacrifice people by cutting into their chest and pulling out their still-beating heart.  I’m not sure how Mel was supposed to sugar coat that.  I guess he could have added a little trail of sparkles and stars behind the path of the knife as it went towards the dudes chest and then the Mayan priest could cut into him and pull out a puppy with a little red bow, but I gotta believe that's not historically accurate.
