Dude got lost, happened to find America, enslaved the natives, murdered, raped, and conquered.

Why was this even a holiday to begin with?

Yes, Happy Columbus Day.
Do you like living with paved roads, buildings, basically in the modern world?
Columbus started that, regardless of whether how he started it was right.

Columbus Day is the worst holiday since Earth Day, lol.

1. You don't get work/school off.
2. How do you even celebrate it? Go sailing, I guess? Walk around town misnaming things?
3. Columbus was an idiot.
4. Columbus was a dagnabbed barbarian.

Best case, they just drop it altogether. Failing that, they should change it to Vespucci Day, or maybe Erikson Day.

I mosly just take issue with the whole "Indian" thing.

Can you believe there are still people who call Native Americans "Indians"? I get that the term NA is misleading too, but at least it uniquely identifies the people who lived in the Americas when the Europeans arrived, lol.

Columbus was a dirty immigrant who brought a bunch of Hispanics to the USA, if only we had a wall back then.
