A man who is wrongly portrayed as evil. He was not evil, racism was simply a fact of life back then. He also didn’t kill all native Americans, most of them died by disease.
Keep Christopher Columbus day! He was a smart man who gave birth to the modern Western Hemisphere. None of us Americans would be here without him. He didn’t slaughter all the Natives, disease killed them.

When someone discovers something great. Then, someone else takes that and calls it his own. Suddenly, everyone knows that person #2 "discovered" it. Really annoying when you're person #1. I'm sure we've all been in this situation before!
Person #1: Hey dude, look at this new strategy i just found! It cuts lots of time off of my score!
Person #2: HEY EVERYONE I JUST FOUND THIS NEW TACTIC I CAN BEAT YOU ALL NOW!
Person #1: Dude, that's the Christopher Columbus Effect. You can't just take me work!
Person #2: HEY EVERYONE I JUST FOUND THIS NEW TACTIC I CAN BEAT YOU ALL NOW!

Christopher Columbus Disorder (CCD) is a mental disorder in which the afflicted believe they have discovered something new, when in fact, indigenous peoples have known about the "discovery" (i.e., object, phenomenon, area, species, etc.) for time immemorial.
Speaker 1: Hey, did you hear Dr. Pumpkinstein discovered a new mammal species in Central America?
Speaker 2: Central America, you say? Haven't there been indigenous people living there for thousands of years with traditional stories about that same mammal passed down for generations?
Speaker 1: Well ya, but if they knew about it, they never published a paper on it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like Dr. Pumpkinstein has a case of CCD.
Speaker 1: CCD?
Speaker 2: Ya, CCD... Christopher Columbus Disorder. Because Columbus didn't discover sh*t!

A mental defect that makes you think you have discovered a place that already has people living there.
Those with this syndrome often take the stuff of the people living there because they think it's just lying around unclaimed. They also do whatever they want to the people living there, because this syndrome makes the sufferer believe that those are not really people. Finally, people with this syndrome often simply take over the property without really noticing the people who were already using it.
This syndrome was first described by Spike Lee in speaking of urban gentrification.

Here’s the thing: I grew up here in Fort Greene. I grew up here in New York. Then comes the motherfuckin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfuckin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. We bought the motherfuckin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfuckin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fuck outta here! Nah. You can’t do that. You can’t just come in the neighborhood and start bogarting and say, like you’re motherfuckin’ Columbus and kill off the Native Americans.
