Why is there no event for Columbus day?

[Kolsykol]

Where do I sign up for the war against Columbus?

Spaniards (and Italians) were considered lesser here in the US for quite awhile, often times even still now. I am part Spanish (and look it), so I experienced a lot of that first hand. Funnily enough, most of my ancestry is English.

Even blue-eyed and blonde Scandinavians were considered lesser too lol, they were discriminated against in the US too until the Polish migration happened and then people became a bit more accepting and started focusing their discrimination on the Polish instead.
Basically anyone who weren't Anglo-Saxon was considered '' lesser ''.
Today people call it '' white '' and the definition has been broadened quite significantly but that's a VERY recent development.
