Is Cuomo mentally challenged?
It's about ethics in video game journalism!
I mean, he's actually not totally wrong. The Columbus statues mostly went up in the early to mid-20th century on the request of various Italian-American organizations (like the Knights of Columbus) that saw a lot of monuments of colonial-descended WASPs but no monuments of Italian-Americans and adopted Columbus as an important symbol of Italian-American pride.
Unlike the analogous situation with Confederate statues, they were not erected to remind Native Americans not to be too uppity or more generally to hearken back to a golden era of genocide against Native Americans. Doesn't mean the statues should stay up, but the distinction from Confederate statues and the point of more genuinely being about pride of a certain ethnic group that at one time genuinely was excluded from establishment culture and honors has truth to it.
