Not sure if this news is political. I feel it’s more educational and historical. It’s about the famous European explorer who made the everlasting mistake of calling Native Americans my people. This mistake really causes lots of confusion when I read American history books. Even the history books in India uses the term Americans Indians for them and Indian Americans or Desi Americans for us. But they are not even Indian and have no cultural connection at all. Why is this wrong name still continuing to teach to every generation?
The Mexico City has taken down their statue of Columbus. I am not familiar to Mexican culture so I am wondering if Columbus is a cultural hero to them or not? I assume he is a hero here in the USA because he has his own national holiday. Is there something similar in other parts of the world?
