Columbus was an immigrant who brought much needed diversity.

It was an exchange for syphilis.


New skeletal evidence suggests Columbus and his crew not only introduced the Old World to the New World, but brought back syphilis as well, researchers say.

also, moved my trash and recycle pick up out one day.

Growing up near Boston, Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti day. We can get rid of Columbus Day.

I'm sick of all the whining about Columbus Day.

A quick google will tell us that it was originally intended as a celebration for Italian Americans. Later it was an attempt to help integrate them.
Never once was it celebrated because Columbus took slaves and attacked indigenous people on the islands he visited.
With that said, it's a bogus holiday intended for government employees only.

So for anyone who is somehow offended, fine. Vote to get rid of the holiday altogether.
Don't be such a pu$$y that you want to change it to something less offensive. that's a f*cking joke.
Grow some cajones and be willing to let go of this bogus day off.
Or else STFU.

HA! I knew you'd step up.
I love having an Italian holiday, but he didn't even represent his own country!
How about changing it to Tony Conigliaro Day?
