32. Was it really about a "period of civilization" or is it just that
it's hard to find Aztecs, Trojans, Spartans and Vikings to complain. Yes, you can find decedents, but are their any organized groups of actual Spartans (by the way, that was my high school's nickname)? Since it sounds like the offensiveness is judged based on the opinion of the party in question (the specific tribes, for example), and there's no organized group in these cases, was there anyone to actually ask?
