The current “Indigenous peple” killed off the previous “indigenous people” so that should be the focus of the celebration.

They don’t understand why Columbus day is being celebrated.
It’s about courage, forging into the unknown, the intrepid warrior, explorer, scientist, etc.
“Indigenous people” isn’t the parallel....Turn it into “Land on the Moon” Day. That’s an exact parallel.

Instead of Cowboys and Indians, children will now be required to play Bovine Abusers and Indigenous People.

To celebrate, they’ll raid and loot nearby villages, take slaves and rip their hearts out of their still beating chests.
To: dp0622
Kind of ironic; in the old western movies depicting hundreds of Indians attacking on horseback, that most of them were Sicilian extras.
It isn’t Indians making these PC changes, it’s whitebread liberals.
Since observing Columbus Day is politically incorrect, that’s exactly what I do.

Because indigenous people never did bad things to other people. You know...like raiding their villages, killing a lot people, and taking hundreds or thousands back to their own place to slaughter them in ceremonial rituals.
And of course, many of them never took the lands of the people they conquered/slaughtered.
Nah..never happened with those "indigenous" people. /s

probably because they were dark.
we’ve gotten lighter through the generations lol. Is that possible?
why doesn’t anyone who feels so bad living on land “stolen” frmo the indians, sell everything and give it to indians.
hypocrites.
