What is Columbus Day all about?

I’m sick of people berating Christopher Columbus for being a tyrannical, abusive, aggressive rapist.
He was Italian, for Christ’s sake. Haven’t you ever seen The Sopranos? Dude wouldn’t last five minutes in Jersey.
Even if he *could* find it.
I still don’t know why he’s given a major holiday, though.
I mean, really. There are better people, ideals, and values to celebrate.
