Columbus Day is no more in the corridors of City Hall.
The Austin City Council on Thursday voted to replace the holiday with Indigenous Peoples Day, a holiday that celebrates Native Americans.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday, so it has not been eradicated, but interim City Manager Elaine Hart did say city calendars will no longer refer to the holiday named for Christopher Columbus. The vote was 9-1-1, with Council Member Ellen Troxclair against and Council Member Alison Alter abstaining.

I’m pretty sure the indigenous people did all the bad shite to each other that Columbus did to them.

So, we can't call injuns Native Americans anymore?

I don't honestly care what they call it as long as I don't have to go to work on Monday.
Call it "White People Are The Devil Day" and I'll be at the parade if I don't have to work.

I love how liberals pretend life was perfect before whitey. Like those MFers weren’t running around scalping each other before we came along.

Good, Columbus didn't even discover America and he raped his whole crew on his Spanish ships before he was looking for Africa to get on the other side of the ROUND Earth but he didn't even know cause his calculations were off anyway.
But they don't teach you that in your white washed history class.

More proof Austin sucks

Funny, no one living in Austin is indigenous to Austin.

Meanwhile I'm off Monday as are my Catholic school kids for Columbus Day.

The indigenous should have built a wall

Did indigenous peoples never commit atrocities on others? What is it about this change that is actually better historically?
Posted on 10/6/17 at 3:44 pm to nerd guy
Hooray!!!!
All the bad things in the world are gone!!!

When, oh when, will Columbus, Ohio be renamed Indigenous Peoples, Ohio?

Didn't a major discovery a few months ago find that there was a civilization before the native americans?
Where's the outrage about that population being killed off?
