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.

What, exactly, did Columbus do?
This idea that the Europeans KNEW they were ate up with smallpox, and came over on purpose to wipe out those poor, benighted, peaceful peoples with diseases...yeah. OK.

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.

This is about Columbus, not a white person.

More proof Austin sucks

You offering me a blow job won't change the fact that Italians ain't white.

Funny, no one living in Austin is indigenous to Austin.
Posted on 10/6/17 at 3:32 pm to nerd guy
Meanwhile I'm off Monday as are my Catholic school kids for Columbus Day.

I knew this sounded familiar.
Did this name change come before or after the South Park episode?
