If I was Italian-American I'd be downright disgusted by how people celebrate Columbus Day and associate it with that.
Of course if I was Italian-American I'd be a very different one from most. I wouldn't be Catholic for one (even if raised that way I would have converted.)

We get it. We all get it. We all know how much you like the cute little things you like and how everyone else is wrong. Just stop.
