Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!
F. Joe Biden officially renamed Columbus Day "Indigenous Peoples Day."
Last Friday, President Joe Biden proclaimed that Indigenous Peoples' Day and Columbus Day would be celebrated on the same date, Oct. 11.
President Biden did not consult with Italian American leaders prior to the controversial announcement, so in response, The Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations (COPOMIAO) sent this urgent letter to The White House calling for a meeting.
Indigenous Peoples should have their day to acknowledge their invaluable contributions, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the Italian American culture.
Italians have moved from being part of the Democrats' urban recent immigrants coalition into the Republicans' surburban business owner coalition, so now they will be treated as cultural enemies to be disrespected and bullied.
I'll be taking a light day in protest.
