Should New York City ban Columbus Day?

If you want to celebrate Italian American Heritage, why not just call it Italian American Heritage Day? Why do Italian Americans WANT to be associated with a pedophile murderer?

Any holiday which doesn't uplift a POC and create a safe space for them should be outlawed.

Hopefully, eventually science can even narrow down whiteness by melanin count, and sterilize those below a certain melanin count

Look, I hate SWJs too but Columbus was a murdering, slave owning pedophile whose only accomplishment was getting lost and accidentally discovering an already inhabited Dominican Republic. There is no reason for him to have a holiday.

Well Pol Pot never harmed any Americans so I guess having a "Pol Pot Day" would be be perfectly fine in the US then.

Pol Pot is largely irrelevant, in the grand scheme of things, to the history of the United States, whereas Columbus, by virtue of being the man who helped establish a permanent connection between Europe and the Americas (thus laying the foundation for future exploration and colonisation in the Caribbean and both North and South America), does have some relevance to the history of the United States. Given that the United States is, in many respects, a European country in the Americas, it is actually rather symbolic of this process, begun by Columbus.

Now, if Pol Pot had, say, been instrumental in helping America to win the Cold War, then yes he probably would deserve a 'Pol Pot Day' as you put it.

You feign outrage that anyone would lump all Native Americans together then a post later lump all Europeans together. Weird.
