Columbus did want to enslave some peoples, but he didn't realize how many people were wiped out by European diseases.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I would wager more people celebrate Festivus than celebrate Kwanzaa.

Smallpox. Share it with your American Indian friends. They'll give you syphilis in return.

Hey, both can still be given, though the former is more of a challenge than the latter.

Genocide Day would be a more appropriate name. Or Imperialism Day, I guess. *NM*

Too many other Genocides or Imperial expansions, it would be Amerocentric to pick that as focus *NM*
