Best Answer

Primarily, those who dislike Christopher Columbus do so from the standpoint that he was actually an insufferable human being and a racist.

Please read the Related Link to see how Columbus, as Governor of Spanish Hispaniola tortured those under his authority in cruel ways. Also note that it was so bad, that the King and Queen of Spain dragged him back to Spain and incarcerated him for his bad treatment of both Spaniards and the Natives. This should indicate that this is not just a modern perspective of Columbus, but that he was seen as horrible in his own time.

I think the native americans might disagree with the choice of word " discovered" because they know they found it first and discovered might mean that someone else is taking credit

Native American people arrived first via the Bering Land Bridge, therefore they discovered America.
