What does your country think of Christopher Columbus?

Not much I don't think. He had nothing to do with canada.

Top bloke really

Kolombusz Kristóf is one of the greatest Hungarians of the 15th century

Not much I don't think. He had nothing to do with the united states.

Which is why there are statues of Columbus everywhere and October 9 is Columbus Day, which is a federal holiday.

>>78916167
>shouldnt be october 12?

iirc they arrived days later in reality due the julian calendar not being updated yet

>>78915465
We only vaguely know who he is. Columbus isn't a popular figure in Canada. Our equivalents are Samuel de Champlain, Pierre Dugua de Mons, Jacques Cartier, etc.

It was to make people stop hating Italians.

That doesn't exist outside the most liberal cities in the U.S., something that makes them a laughing stock too, as it sounds ridiculous and city councils can't change federal holidays. So they're reduced to saying "oh, um, you're getting off today for Indigenous Peoples Day, which is coincidentally Columbus Day, the real reason you're getting today off."

>>78916895
EYYYYYYYY WELCOM TAAA NEEEW YAAWWK

don't know why BLM/american liberals bitch about him constantly, the indigenous rape and all that, we had a primitive but thriving empire, all niggers had were some isolated hut villages and voodoo, were the ones that got buttfucked by him and cortez and nowadays were cool about it. we don't care much.

>>78916166
Risto Kyyhkyläinen was a Finn

>>78919999
no, every statue is racist, they must be destroyed

This is all white folks fault.

You had everything. EVERYTHING. And you let it go. Why? Your race are the biggest fools in all of human history. FOOLS! YOU HAD THE WORLD! YOU HAD IT! AND YOU GAVE IT AAALLL UP!

I laugh uproariously at your stupidity and will laugh uproariously when natives and blacks dance on your defiled graves.

Federal holidays in the US usually aren't on fixed dates, but instead on certain days of the week, often a Monday. This is so government workers can get a three-day weekend.

LMFAO

Columbus day is going to be tense in Yonkers this year

>>78915465
Cristovão Colombo was portuguese

In any sane timeline, Columbus Day would have died naturally because nobody celebrates it. Even as a kid, I didn't get the day off for school.

A lot of the left-wing comedy/political talk show hosts like John Oliver started shit about it though, so instead of just letting it die, it's been turned into this meme culture war issue that the far-left and the far-right will come to blows over. Fuck the media.

>>78920808
depends on how seriously we take Ferdinand's apparently claim of Columbus being related to Georges de Bissipat. I'd rate Columbus having *some* Byzantine ancestry as overall one of the saner theories at least lol

>>78915465
As an Italian American he is a hero in my house hold

>>78921522
Shitty media personalities pretty much control American politics nowadays. It's half the reason we're in this mess. We let comedians and con artists direct cultural and political movements.

>>78921765
Well maybe if Gen X had stood up and done something instead of being a bunch of apathetic cucks, this wouldn't be an issue.

>>78921522
the media is the cause to our our problems, in a way, you as a mexican should know it, if it weren't for those damn corridos, narco novelas and cartel kid selfies our country wouldn't glorify narco culture.

>>78921006
>>78921522
unless you were an indigenous mexican then you might care but almost all don't give a damn, believe me, and if you were mestizo then you'd care even less, that's just snowflaking

>>78921879
>this wouldn't be a problem if the media wasn't paying attention to it and letting people be!
>it's your fault because you're not doing anything about it!
so what is he supposed to do again? ignore columbus day so it isn't an issue anymore, or try his hardest to... further polarize this meme culture war?

>>78922820
Yes
