Columbus never landed anywhere within the 50 US states. The holiday itself was a sop to Catholic voters (one few asked for) in an early version of “diversity awareness.” If anything, Hispanics/Latinos should be the ones celebrating Columbus as they would not exist without Columbus.

I have no problem with a dual Italian heritage/Indigenous people’s day, but would prefer more than anything to celebrate Henry Hudson.

What is this with Hudson?

No disrespect, but honestly, who actually came here, established a colony, lived there, and started exploring in the US? John Smith.
