Pedantry and political incorrectness, basically. It's RAYCISS to say he "discovered America" because there were indigenous people living here, even though obviously it was never fucking meant to be taken literally.
Also he tortured slaves because he was a soulless Italian.
Connor Allen
Deflect from the fact that most slavery and oppression of natives was done by anglos

The guy was extremely cruel, was regarded as a dick in his own time and literally thought he landed in indonesia
Tyler Edwards
Not really. You need to understand that indios were barely considered humans during that time. The fact that they were considered intelligent enough to learn the Bible is the only reason why we didn't kill them all. Columbus wasn't particularly cruel
Leo Harris
Columbus did literally nothing wrong, it was his men who behaved like dicks.
Ayden Lee
Columbus did nothing wrong.

It's pretty retarded. It's the equivalent of modern day French being mad at Julius Caesar for being brutal to Gaul.

honestly the only thing that's bad about him was introducing the indigenous people to some disease they weren't prepared to fight, other than that I don't really care about
Isaac Miller
Why exactly should anyone celebrate him, again?

Christianity allowed fags and betas to breed and live
Oliver Morales
because he was a massive retard who not only thought India was 300miles west of Spain, but insisted till his dying day that the Caribbean was India. Also he was it*lian

Mostly Misinformation and memes that no one bothers to look up. It's easier for most people to go with the flow.

Juan Robinson
Honestly, he was a dick. Killing Indios was normal but even his own crew hated him because he treated them like shit. That's why his bosses arrested him and shipped him back to Spain on charges of gross misgovernance.

Not necessarily, but they are the epitome of total devotion to one's faith. Even as a protestant, I can totally respect that.
Mason Harris
Total betas and feminine trash.

Mostley because they believe flawed modern translations of his original diary entries. For example, the entry inwhich he talked about subjugating them under the Italian crown. In most modern, flawed entries, It is mistranlated as him wanting to enslave them. This was really because of anti-italian propaganda spreading around europe at that time. Also, he was not active in most of the early colonisation of north and parts of south america, really only being active for about a decade.

Colonialism was a mistake.
How interesting it would have been to see the indigenous powers themselves find us instead of us finding them.

Basically this. He was also extremely incompetent and a terrible administrator.
His merit was having a stupid idea (sailing west to reach Asia) and managing to convince Queen Isabel to gib moneys, ships and men to launch an expedition. And he fluked it.
And that's all. But somehow murrifats picture him as the epitome of discovery, colonization, conquest and evangelization of the New World. Even though after 4 trips around the Caribbean he died stubbornly in denial that all that was something other than asian clay.

Well, he did an amphibious assault against the natives. That’s something.
