Columbus, OH, should rename itself Indigenous Peoples, OH.

Why does Columbus get so much flack for what everyone else did. Hell, he didn't even land on the mainland.

Really. If he hadn't done it someone else would have just come along and discovered the new world in a few hundred years.

To be fair, the hatred of Columbus is distorted and actively seeks to avoid crediting him for anything.

True. But calling them “indigenous” is kind of a stretch, too.
