   IF you mean, is it politically correct, probably so.  Most things are, these   
   days.   
   But I can not really get a handle on what would not offend the Mexican   
   segment of   
   movie goers.   I understood this one was to reflect the bravery of both   
   sides, and   
   both Tejanos and Texians.  There were Mexicans who died on both sides of   
   those   
   walls, as well as at San Jacinto.   Many of the attacking Mexicans were   
   simply being   
   used as cannon fodder by that cowardly bastard, Generalissimo Santa Anna.   
   He   
   was, in my opinion, the real villain in that conflict.  A whole lot of   
   Mexican soldiers   
   died with Mexican lead in their backs.
