Wait, if Aztecs thought white people are gods (unless it's a "Television would never lie" moment), do we have records of how they treated albinos born in their countries?
The Aztecs did not view the white men as gods. Depictions of Quetzalcoatl that make him look like a white man/the claim that they confused Cortes for him is pseudohistory based on Spanish depictions and lies.
Here’s an interesting thing I found on ancient Mexican albinism.
Ooh, nice find!
