I don’t know what’s a bittersweet day. In Latin America Columbus is seen in different ways depending on the person’s race and ideology. Yes, leftists and indigenous groups tends not to like him because of the massacres that happened with the European invasion. But some separate his achievements from what happened lately. The name of the nation Colombia comes from Colombo, that is Columbus’ name in Italian.

It was the beginnings of the subjugation of the New World where millions of Native people were killed.
