Talk:Revolt of the Comuneros (Paraguay)

Anti-Jesuit Bias
The starting statement "The underlying cause of the unrest was strong anti-Jesuit feelings among the Paraguayans" is strongly misleading. This statement, and the article in general, identifies Paraguayans with Spanish/mestizo settlers of Asuncion; native Guranis were not anti-Jesuit - were they not Paraguayans? It would be much more accurate to replace "Paraguayans" with "inhabitants of Asuncion". The article presents only the point of view of one side, that of the oppressing encomenderos, and makes no attempt to be balanced. Chrystomath2 (talk) 11:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The context makes clear that "Paraguayans" specifically means the criollos & mestizos - "political" Paraguayans rather than "anyone living in the borders of Paraguay". This kind of formulation is not unusual, especially for the time period where indigenous people were considered separate and apart from the Spanish Empire's state.  Not sure what to say other than "that's how the sources present it".  For example, North-West Rebellion refers to "Canadian troops" despite the fact that the Metis they fought against were Canadians too.  Yes, this is horrible, but it's the historical reality.
