I didn't say that what the Spanish Empire did was okay, I don't like empires in general. However, now that you mention it, the Spanish Empire brought almost no Africans to America, we had a pseudo slavery system with natives. And given that an empire is undertaken (which is already a morally questionable premise, but let's assume it) and some oppression to other peoples is needed to sustain the empire, I deem better to racemix with the natives so that they are more prone to integrate to european individual values rather than embarking hundreds of thousands of blacks, not racemixing with them and having them unadapted to european culture 300 years after. It's not like Hispanic America is the pinnacle of european culture but at least they somewhat understand european culture and can integrate, I'd rather have latinos in my country than north africans.
