Eternal reminder that back in the day Italian citizens groups trying to promote the idea that Italians were "real Americans" picked Columbus out of a hat because he was the only important Italian (he is not) anyone could think of that had anything to do with the US. He was an actual DEI hire. They formed groups like the Knights of Colombus and that's basically the only reason anyone in contemporary American knows or cares who Colombus was.
he was such a vile rapist that his own men reported him to the crown
imagine being so awful that a bunch sailors in the 1400s were like "yo wtf" and told on your ass to the aristocracy who were the absolute most lecherous and debaucherous bunch imaginable and even they though "yo wtf is wrong with you"
