This is the time period where the Spanish Monarchy implemented what would eventually become Blood Quantum, to ensure that they wouldn’t mix with Jews. They weren’t about to go fund one of us for a mission as important as bringing back black peppercorns.

This seems like an attempt to further alienate the Jewish community from the rest of the indigenous world, while taking advantage of what’s happening abroad.

This is going to be incendiary in leftist spaces. Wikipedia has already latched onto it.
