LA City Council replaces Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day on city calendar

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to eliminate Columbus Day from the city calendar, siding with activists who view the explorer as a symbol of genocide for native peoples in North America and elsewhere.

Over the objections of Italian American civic groups, the council made the second Monday in October a day in L.A. to commemorate “indigenous, aboriginal and native people.” It replaces a holiday that served as a touchstone for Italian Americans, marking the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Caribbean.

Lots of self hate pandering.

I think its fair to conclude that in recent times America has outcucked Europe.And that's not even counting Canada.

Even our champions the Swedes don't remove their own monuments and history to appease minorities

Ah, a change that allows them to feel like they've done something great for indigenous people without having done anything at all.
