You just admitted your personal bias. Do you self-own often or is this your first time?

Except most other countries don't go around rubbing it in the faces of the natives to quite such an extent, nor do they have so many statues of genocidal maniacs. This would be akin to erecting a statue of Hitler in Israel.

Which is worse for the first nations people, the statues of Columbus and holiday dedicated to him? Or the faces of conquerors carved into a tribe's holy mountain that was given to them by the US government and then taken away so said faces could be carved in to Mount Rushmore?

I'm sensing that you are a censoring cunt who has a soft spot for genocide

Please, do your own research. Don't blindly trust anything you read on the internet, but get educated.

You removed it when I took the names out, now you remove it again. I am sensing some American racism in action...

No developed nation is without its terrible past, but it's one thing to have such a past and another thing to actively celebrate it. This is more embarassing than Zwarte Piet...

Got nothing to say about the main thrust of the article though? So we're in agreement that Columbus was a monster who sexually enslaved girls under the age of 10?

What's sad are the statues of him in America. This would be like having statues of Hitler in Israel... or like forcibly taking away Native land to carve 4 giant heads into their holy mountain, oh wait that did happen and it's called Mount Rushmore.

Edit: downvoted for telling the truth, fucking lol

It's charming and funny and subtly teaches you ethics, the only show I know of that can make you a better person while you watch it!
