Christopher Columbus was protested in the U.S. because he was a bad person and he wasn't a person that was good to the native Americans. That's why we celebrate indigenous people's day instead of celebrating Christopher Columbus. This celebration was legally changed in some states in "1977 participants at the United Nations International Conference on Discrimination against Indigenous Populations in the Americas proposed that Indigenous Peoples’ Day replace Columbus Day."
There is no explanation of the evidence in this piece and the evidence itself is not the strongest one they could have chosen.

Because Columbus took land that wasn’t his. In the text says “At the forefront of their minds is the fact the colonial (imperialist) takeovers of the Americas, starting with Columbus, led to the deaths of millions of Native people and the forced assimilation of survivors”. This shows that Columbus was an imperialist
What's wrong with it: The explanation is not complete. Yes, Columbus was an imperialist! But, why does that mean he should not be celebrated? Answer the question!!

The social cause of imperialism
Wanting to spread whiteness due to the belief that white people were superior
This justification for imperialism centers around false ideas of race.
What's wrong (if anything) with this response?
Columbus day is being protested in the United States because they know Columbus shouldn’t have a holiday because he indeed was not a hero. For example, paragraph 2 says “At the forefront of their minds is the fact the colonial (imperialist) takeovers of the Americas, starting with Columbus, led to the deaths of millions of Native people and the forced assimilation of survivors.” This shows that Columbus was indeed not a hero to them.
Nothing at all! There is a claim, evidence, and a wonderful explanation as to why the evidence answers the question and supports the claim.
