There's no news here. This is the same bullsh!+ that has formed the backbone of the Black Spanish propaganda propagated by the British since the failed invasion of Britain by the Spanish Armada. Every child taught in the public school since the 1970s has heard this.
What is news is the translation of his diary into English.

"What if the Italian gentleman who discovered America was in fact a brutal torturer and slave owner? And what if he wasn't even Italian?"
He wasn't Italian.
He was from the city-state of Genoa. Italy did not exist as a country in 1492.

Spanish scholars are on a mission to demystify Christopher Columbus's life, long shrouded in a veil of mythic heroismThere is good scholarship to show that Christopher Columbus
left Spain on the day before all Jews were driven out the Spain. In addition some have shown that his mother was a Jew.

He was Genoese and was looking for a trade route to east Asia, India, that didn't go through bedouin territory. The voyage was for commercial purposes.

Overlooked is WHY he sailed the ocean blue. It was to find an alternative path to trade with the far east because the muslims made the old land route unusable.
