Every year on October 14th, America's Italian community is greeted with a rash of hate crimes that are never seriously investigated. 

In San Francisco, a city that has already replaced Columbus day with "Indigenous People's Day," the local Columbus monument was vandalized and spray painted with "...kill all colonizers," a reference to the European majority in the USA. Similar crimes have been committed in other cities. 

The official reasoning for these attacks is that Columbus enslaved and murdered Amerindians he encountered, but this doesn't explain why Thorfinn Karlsefni - the Viking who fathered the first European born in the New World - is also subjected to hate crimes by anarchists. Beneath all the fairy tales, the animosity isn't towards any one unique figure of European discovery, the fury is caused by the mere existence of white people in the Americas.
