This is mind-boggling.
I so dearly hope I live to see the day when the USA stops glorifying the 15th and 16th century colonizers (especially Cristoforo Columbo).
"Colonization of the Americas at the end of the 15th century killed so many [indigenous] people, it disturbed Earth’s climate, according to a new study by University College London."

Yucatan Times: Xcaret will no longer be able to use Mayan symbols in its tourist attractions. “Mexico’s Supreme Court has ruled against Xcaret, prohibiting the ecotourism giant from using Mayan symbols in its attractions, hotels, and promotional materials.

Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance
"In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."
She delivered a powerful speech last November:
"Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,
'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,
your celebrations are colourful, and
your music is present to the ears.’"
"But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>
