Columbus Day
Because they feel like they would be celebrating the death of their people, encouraging them for taking their land, and celebrating the slavery to the white man.
Celebrating Columbus Day with a parade (or in any other way) can be controversial in any situation where someone feels resentful or simply concerned over the negative results of Columbus' discovery of the New World for Europe. The fact that Native cultures and traditions (among other things) suffered great loss, even extinction, in the centuries following Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic Ocean is sometimes valued so highly that contemporary celebrations of Columbus Day, with a parade or not, is viewed as inappropriate.
Celebrating Columbus Day can foster a sense of national pride and recognition of exploration and discovery in American history. However, it is also controversial due to Columbus's role in the colonization and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples, which has led many to advocate for a shift towards Indigenous Peoples' Day. This debate highlights the need to reconcile historical narratives with the impacts of colonization. Ultimately, the celebration raises questions about representation, historical accuracy, and the values society chooses to honor.

The Columbus Day parade is contentious due to its association with the colonization and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by Christopher Columbus and subsequent European settlers. Critics argue that celebrating Columbus perpetuates historical narratives that overlook the violence and oppression faced by Indigenous communities. In contrast, supporters maintain that the day honors Italian-American heritage and contributions. This clash of perspectives has led to calls for the celebration to be reimagined or replaced with Indigenous Peoples' Day.
