Exactly. I’m actually 4th generation Italian and it was never even a celebration in my family. I never understood why some feel like their entire heritage hinges on celebrating one man from the 15th century.

I’m second gen and not one member of my family has ever attended that parade or paid any kind of weird tribute to Columbus.

Based on Spectrum News reporting, it was mostly attended by Candy Mero-Carlson, children on floats, and boomers with thick Worcester accents.
