There were people already here before Columbus. Get over it.

If Columbus didn't discover America because there were already people here, then, by that standard, pretty much no one can discover anything at all.

Or how about, “Happy let’s apologize for everything every historically bad thing one group of humans has done to another group of humans day?” Yeah, maybe the PP was right. We should be like Canada and have neutral holiday names. Except even “Bank” day would be found to be offensive by people that don’t like big, bad bankers. Looks like colors or numbers might work. Happy government holiday #7.

I’d be ok with just having more days of PTO and fewer federal holidays.

Not true. Well aware. So many fail to acknowledge the horrors white people did and had no business doing becasue "we are so much better, smarter and advanced".
How did we do any of it if we knew better? Zero killings should've come from us. The diseases brought were enough.

Every single human being on this earth who is living or who has ever lived is flawed. Every. single. one.

Probably the BEST solution would be to not celebrate any of them. Right?

That is where we are headed. No GW birthday. No MLK day. No Kennedy Center. No Lincoln Memorial.
We can dig up sins of each one of these from the past. So, let's focus on alll the wrongs they did instead of the achievements they made.

Looks like we found a Hitler fan.

But we don’t have a holiday specifically celebrating them.
