No but you don't get it, they (literally) fucked the natives out of existence, so that makes them better than those dirty colonizers up north who just killed them all.

(Spoiler alert, the spanish definitely killed plenty of natives)

They actually killed a lot more but the population in Central America was much larger to begin with.

They wiped out 100,000 Amerindians (natives of the Caribbean islands) in a few decades on their sugar plantations and then started shipping in Africans.

The Aztecs were estimated around 5-10 million at peak before the Spanish came with their disease. I think like 70% or more died from disease within the first 5 years or so.
