Speaking of Columbus, we have to put its history in perspective. While Columbus Day is a celebration of Italian ancestry in America, Columbus was employed by Spain, and the land he discovered (became aware of) he claimed for Spain. It was Latino/Hispanic ancestry that colonized/took/stole, or conquered the indigenous people of Puerto Rico and most of the New World. In fact, in most of today’s America, who fought and took it from Spain? There is a reason nuch of the New World speaks a form of Latino/Hispanic language.
So when they erect a Columbus statue in PR or any Latino/Hispanic country in the colonization of the New World. It is/was not paid for by Italian society or to celebrate Italian Heritage. Columbus’s history has more to do with Hispanic Heritage than Italian Heritage ever will, and is just as much as England’s and France’s in the colonization of this land and what took place to the indigenous people who occupied it. I would say Portuguese, too, but they are basically Spanish people. 🙂
Let’s try to remember that on PR Day or when we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month as we point our finger at the Italians/Columbus/ for their Heritage or white/England (America) for the colonization of the New World, Columbus landed on. JS
