    Even better, tell them Columbus wasn’t Italian, he was Genoan and he sailed for the Spanish Crown.

      Genova is in modern day Italy, so if he really was Genovese then yeah, he was Italian.

        Italy is a modern invention, like 20th century modern. That’s be like telling a Prussian that they’re just German minus a hundred years. Early colonist’s considered themselves British, would you argue that they were actually American?
