This is simply a no win situation.

It's a sticky one.

Reminds me of the story of Br'er Rabbit and the Tar Baby.

Oops, I guess that's racist now too.

Never mind...

Oh, but there will be a winner. Columbus Day will eventually go, and some form of Indigenous Peoples Day will replace it.

Today’s America is like a baseball game where one team (the liberal team) is always at bat. Always. The best the conservatives can do is hold down the liberal’s run production.

So one day some liberal president will abolish Columbus Day by the stroke of a pen. If Hillary had won, you can bet she would have done it.

Indigenous Peoples Day? Italians say stick with Columbus

Italians?
I am not Italian and I will stick with Columbus until I die; what's more, I will celebrate the holiday on Thursday, the 12, the revisionists be damned.
So sue me.

This is simply a no win situation.

I fail to see this as a "win" - "no win" issue.
Columbus spread the discovery through his known world , with the help of Americo Vespucci, the cartographer, and it is irrelevant to me if the Chinese, the Scandinavians or some anonymous Asians came across the Siberian land bridge or if Polynesians arrived via the Pacific Ocean.
None of these allowed the discovery to become world-wide common knowledge.

Moving right along...

Big whoop.
