And now the Italiians are pissed...
SEATTLE – The Seattle City Council is replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day in the city.
The resolution that passed unanimously Monday celebrates the contributions and culture of Native Americans and the indigenous community in Seattle on the second Monday in October, the same day as the federally recognized Columbus Day.
Tribal members and other supporters say the move recognizes the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for centuries.
"Nobody discovered Seattle, Washington," she said to a round of applause.
Several Italian-Americans and others objected to the change, saying Indigenous Peoples' Day honors one group while disregarding the Italian heritage of others.

Any time Italians are mad about something, it's probably a good thing. I'm for it.

Seattle can't change anything, it's still Columbus Day because it's a federal holiday. Seattle can make up whatever shite they want...

You just can't help it huh?
I'm okay with the change. Columbus really wasn't such an explorer as much as an extension of Imperialism.

Hey...if the OT has taught me anything, it's that it's perfectly fine to poke fun at white people.
