Because for at least the past decade Columbus has become the epitome of the evil of whiteness. It's kinda funny that the epitome of evil whiteness may be an ethnic jew. It just slants the identity politics to a funny angle.
Are the people who pulled down his statue now considered antisemitic? And with the constant arguments of to what extent the jews participated in the slave trade, it be funny that the guy now frequently called a slave torturer is a jew.
It matters because when people talk about the evils of that time Columbus is an easy target for them to attack. But if he is an ethnic jew how do they reconcile the attack on the symbol of white people despite him being of the tribe?
I was thinking about squatters the other day. And it occurred to me the law will let them takeover houses from normal folks, but cops can raze homeless camps in parks and government buildings. You'd think if squatters rights were a real thing we'd have people in monuments and shit.
In World War Z there's a zombie who is constantly bumping into a wall and it doesn't make one zombie go check on the noise. But someone bumps into a door and the zombies come running. How did they know a person made that sound?
They threw a fit about him calling Baltimore rat infested, and it's rat infested. It was a huge story in The Baltimore Sun. It's that old you can't talk about my family, only I'm allowed to talk about my family bit.

This looks like a suicide by cop. Why else would you open your door slashing like a Voorhees?
