Contemporary observers were talking about how much of a shithead he was. It's pretty safe to say he was a shithead.

The fact that people with an agenda managed to retroactively make him into a glorified hero centuries later says more about our current culture than it says about Columbus's contemporaries 500 years ago.

One of my favorite parts about this new holiday is just how much it pisses off bigots.
