Happy immigrants and indigenous peoples day…

Alternatively central Ohio day, for those wishing to draw attention to the fact that the capital of Ohio would very much like a different name

And according to new research, Columbus wasn’t Italian after all but a Spanish Jew. Though it hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet so it remains to be seen if it holds up to scrutiny.

And according to Spanish history, Columbus wasn’t the one that did the enslaving. After settling and making a small base he returned with news and then the conquerors went for war, the most notorious figure being Hernan Cortez.

It’s crazy the amount of Columbus hate I read on american websites and no mention of Cortez, who was way way worse.

Just the tomato base really. There was still a lot of pizza-like food that predated the columbian exchange because I guess it doesn’t require much effort to invent “bread with stuff on it”
