The Asian islands near China and India were fabled for their spices and gold, making them an attractive destination for Europeans. In other words, I believe that motivated him. No, he did not. He thought he had reached Asia, but it was actually America. Well the Spanish goal seemed to be to kill as many Taíno as possible, so Columbus did not treat them well, none of the Spaniards did.

Hey again!

Asian territories, especially China and India (Mughal Empire) were full of precious metals and lots of spices. That's what encouraged Christopher Columbus and many explorers to go to Asia; however, he did not reach Asia. Instead, he reached to Latin America and the Carribean islands. He brutally treated the Taino and other native tribes of the Caribbean; he would force them into slavery and make sure that the tribes would give all of their prized possessions in the hands of Columbus and other Spanish conquistadors (explorers). Eventually, he found that the Carribean and Latin America was another huge opportunity for the rise of the economy for his mother country, Spain. He surprised and made the Spaniard leaders very happy with the many precious items he found. Coconuts were also introduced to Spain. Queen Isabella of Castille, the ruler of Spain at the time, gave Columbus ownership of all the land he discovered ad found as long as the Crown collected around 20% of the revenue earned by Columbus. However, eventually, other conquistadors had found out what Columbus and other explorers like Pizarro were doing in Latin America and immediately reported their brutality to the Crown. Columbus faced numerous charges and consequences.

100 POINTS QUICK PLEASE Take a look at the links below at a variety of racial, ableist, ageist, and sexist microaggressions and
denis-greek [22]

Two types of microaggressions presented in the links and which are very common can be seen in the sentences "I am not racist, I have several black friends" and "There is only one race, the human race."

These sentences inspire ideas of devaluation and lack of knowledge about how people are different and this makes them have completely different lives and social experiences.

To make sure you are not microaggressive with a person, you should avoid exposing controversial opinions, researching social minorities, and educating him/herself about social, religious, biological, and other differences.

<h3>What are microaggressions?</h3>
  • Comments that encourage prejudiced or stereotyped ideas.
  • A way to invalidate a person's experiences, choices, and even social group/race.

Microaggressions are very common elements in our society that cause prejudiced and negative situations that affect the people involved in a very intense way, even questioning and invalidating what these people are and represent.

The first step in not promoting microaggressions is to educate yourself on social issues, mainly related to social minorities such as blacks, women, foreigners, and the disabled, among other groups.

With education, the individual learns that certain comments should not be issued or even thought about, as they harm social evolution and impact normal people who are outside socially valued standards.
