Do people where you live say “Happy Columbus Day” or “Indigenous Peoples Day”?

[exitseven]

Many states call this holiday Indigenous People day.

Columbus would be proud.

[WhiteSteve]

I can’t imagine I’d even bother to say either. You take the day off and don’t ask any questions or make any protests. I respect indigenous people everyday. I don’t respect colonialism, expansionism, and imperialism any day. I don’t really need a day for either to feel how I feel about it🤷‍♂️

Happy Columbus Day

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t think i have heard either of those phrases in my entire adult life. Nobody cares.
Even as a child, we would have had Columbus Day off of skool. So there’s a very good chance that i have never heard either of those phrases in my entire lifetime. Literally nobody cares.

I grew up in an Italian household so it was a big deal

[Chazmatazz269]

Well, i learned something today.
Columbus sailed for Spain. I have long thought he was Spanish. I had no idea he was an Italian sailing for the Spanish. Ell oh ell!

[midnightmoon05]

I had to explain to my students the reason they get the day off - Columbus was a great man whom did not give up his dream to find India. But he made a mistake with his voyage… that he found new land. We remember him for being brave.
that’s how much I talk to the kids about Columbus.

[OlderAndWiser]

Neither one. Columbus Day is a government holiday but businesses are open. Only about 5% of all Floridians have any Italian heritage, and they are heavily concentrated in the central and south Florida population centers, so perhaps it is a big deal down there. It's nothing in north Florida, just the other holiday in October.

They say "what the fuck is Columbus day?".

[lilBigPotato]

(I mean obviously everyone can guess it but it's not celebrated here).

[TrueConfection]

I don’t think either one but, now that you mention it, I will start tomorrow. I’ll tell everyone I know Happy Columbus Day. 🥰

I’ll tell my Canadian friends Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃🍁

[AviatorTom]

We celebrate Columbus Day. Not many people say "Happy anything" though.

I believe we can be more sensitive to the needs of our fellow man, that we can be better neighbours to each other. Sometimes we take to much for granted and we forget to tell each other we care. I think Christmas provides a wonderful opportunity to find friendships and to show our loved ones that they are important to us, that we're happy they are in the world. It's something we should do more often. And the spirit of Christmas is a joyous reminder of our responsibility as people.

democrats make it illegal to say Merry Christmas.

[Opinion Owner]

Christmas is a Magical season of hope. It brings people together like no other time of the year. It gives us a moment to catch our breath. To step away from the complexities of our bustling modern world and to reaffirm the important things in life. As you reflect on days gone by and look forward to your bright tomorrows i hope that you find peace and contentment and that yiu carry the spirit of Christmas with you always.

Say Happy Columbus Day to who? It's a holiday and most people have the day off.

I remember a long time ago when they found out that he didn't discover America 🇺🇸 after all. What ever happened to that?

[exitseven]

he discovered America and the new world.

[DishLady]

I don't know anyone who says either. Last time anyone paid attention to it was the second grade - "nina, pinta and santa maria... Columbus sailed the ocean blue in (something something) 1492..."

[jshm2]

Columbus was a fucking maniac, and rogue.

As for "Indigenous People" yes, Columbus murdered, raped and trafficked many of those.

[menina]

No, not really. This day isn't celebrated where I am.

[Interstate]

No. Nobody that I am aware of says that in this area.

[Ai_oilman]

Happy Columbus Day, God bless America and everyone in everything in every way.

[xawyx-3]

Neither, I'm from Europe, it's not a holiday in here. .

[NathanDavis]

we say October 12

[mrkdvsn]

Usually neither. But if they do..."Columbus Day"

[Pterodon]

Most don’t say anything

[Monoc]

Columbus didn't even knew that he landed on America.

[queenofcardio]

No, neither

[Anonymous]

No, because I don’t live in the USA.
