This Daily Mail opinion piece criticises US Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett over recent comments on racism, arguing that in making her point she inadvertently ended up praising or excusing the historical record of the Spanish Empire. The piece frames this as part of a broader pattern of Democratic politicians making sweeping remarks about race and colonial history that the author considers inconsistent or poorly reasoned.

The article text supplied does not contain the substantive body of the piece beyond its headline and surrounding site navigation, so specific quotes, dates or the exact remarks attributed to Crockett are not available here. The framing situates the story within the Mail's ongoing coverage of what it characterises as "woke" commentary from American politicians and public figures.
