Why is there no event for Columbus day?

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.

Pretty much, but a lot of white immigrants can/could "fit" in easier here. All it really takes is a generation or two. Even more so if they were protestant. What you look like is a big factor.

I know Irish were discriminated against pretty heavily as well - in Britain too. By the way, I'm a little irish from my dad.. I'm pretty much full on American. On paper, my name is completely anglo.
