Columbus Day came about because of a mass lynching of Italians. Yeah nobody gives a shit about Italians anymore but few appreciate just how hated they used to be. Way worse than the “Irish need not apply” stuff

People today just don't understand how racist worked in the US. It's wasn't all "pale people hating on all dark people". It was literally "White vs Black". If you weren't German or Anglo, you were the other (even if 1/16 or something).

&gt; The Anglo-Germans hated the Irish, blacks, and Asians.

&gt; The Asians hated the Italians, blacks, Hispanics.

&gt; The blacks hated the anglo-Germans, the Irish, and the Hispanics.

And every other combinations. It was every camp for themselves. The Italians were "black" in a sense until the 1950s and treated as such. Race riots would target Italians, Jews, Irish, blacks, and any other else.

Some see this as a unique evil too, but the reality is that this kind of racism was normal for pretty much all of human history and it's rather unique that we see that as taboo now. People need to learn to appreciate how well the different groups of the US get along now-a-days.
