Headline: "Christopher Columbus was Spanish and Jewish, documentary reveals"
You: "Is that supposed to explain why he was known to be an asshole?"
So if you didn't mean being a Jew explained why he was an asshole, did you mean that being Spanish explained why he was an asshole? Because I can list plenty of non-asshole people from Spain too.
Looking at the downvotes, I don't think I was the only one who misunderstood, but thank you for clarifying. I agree. It only matters in an academic sense.
Nah, it's fine. Communication is difficult and misunderstandings happen all the time. Can't be helped really since we all have different sets of knowledge and perspective.
