“When you juxtapose Christopher Columbus’ popularity among Hispanics with the misguided efforts to ‘cancel’ him by progressive activists and politicians, it shows how out of touch the far left is with our community,” Abraham Enriquez, Bienvenido president, said.
Progressives have been pushing for the cancellation of Christopher Columbus in recent decades, deeming his journey to sail from the Spanish port of Palos de la Frontera on behalf of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II to explore Western civilization as an act of genocide of the Indigenous people.
“The reality is that most Hispanics, especially those who are immigrants, view Columbus quite favorably,” Enriquez added.
While educational institutes, liberal politicians, and anti-American extremists push the narrative that the Italian explorer embarked on an expedition to merely rape, pillage, and enslave the West, Hispanic communities refuse to buy the message.
According to the poll the partnering groups ran earlier this month, 53% of Hispanics view Columbus favorably, while 24% view him unfavorably, yielding a net favorability of 29 points. Meanwhile, 49% percent of Hispanics have a positive opinion of Biden, while 42% have a negative view of him, resulting in a net favorability of seven points.
