A holiday celebrated by Italians in all major US cities. In Denver, white liberals whine and fuss, claiming the celebration is racist and genocidal.
Very strangely, in San Francisco, the white liberals don't dare to interfere with the Italians.

1. The man who discovered America. Now, some people argue that he actually discovered the West Indies, or that it was discovered by Leif Ericcson about 1000 years before, or that you really cant discover a nation already inhabited by natives. Those people are communists. Columbus discovered America.*
