lucassinclair3년 이상I think Columbus Day should be celebrated instead of Indigenous Peoples day. think that because Columbus discovered America and I don't want to erase history

susboyanimekid2년 이상He literally didn't and their is evidence but go off I guess🙄😑- girllly123년 이하It's not erasing history It's just that he wasn't the first to find America and he treated the indigenous population really cruelly.
