History Recap / SouthParkS21E3HolidaySpecial

* CallBack: Cartman's perception of Columbus Day is just as selfish as his take on Christmas in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics." [[note]] Specifically, as far as he's concerned, he gets presents at Christmas time because Jesus was born, whereas he really wants to have Columbus Day off from school. [[/note]]

* BreatherEpisode: After two straight episodes dealing with Cartman and Heidi, this episode carries little to no continuity with any other episode this season.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's never revealed why Randy used to be obsessed with Christopher Columbus.
** Well, it is Randy after all. He seems to have some weird hobby or obsession every other episode with little context offered as to why.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When Randy kisses a Native American in order to have nonwhite DNA in the sample he gives, the agency suspects something is wrong and requires a retest; that is, an [[{{Squick}} anal swab]].

!This episode contains examples of:

* AbsenteeActor: Heidi is absent in this episode. This is the only episode in which she does not appear in Season 21.

** To Caucasian people whose ancestry includes a small amount of historically oppressed groups that is not visibly noticeable, but decide to play the victim card anyway. One of them is a very white guy who says the N-word and doesn't get in much trouble for it, like LetsPlay/PewDiePie.

* TooDumbToLive: Randy standing on top of the Columbus statue that was going to be taken down. It's only due to PlotArmor that Randy wasn't killed nor injured.

* AmusingInjuries: Randy falls on to the ground after the Columbus statue is taken down, yet he's still no worse for the wear the next scene.

* RealityEnsues: When Randy kisses a Native American in order to have nonwhite DNA in the sample he gives, the agency suspects something is wrong and requires a retest; that is, an [[{{Squick}} anal swab]].

** By extension, to people who play the victim card over historical events that hold little-to-no relevance in the modern world.

* ContinuityNod: When the boys try threatening Peter Galtman into not cancelling the holiday while wearing masks, Kenny uses his Mysterion voice.

** To Caucasian people whose ancestry includes a small amount of historically oppressed groups that is not visibly noticeable, but decide to play the victim card anyway.
*** One of them is a very white guy who says the N-word and doesn't get in much trouble for it, like LetsPlay/PewDiePie.

** Actually this would be an inversion since Neanderthals are separate species rather than race so there would be overlap meaning it's actually 98%.

* {{Hypocrite}}: We can infer why Randy is obsessed with Christopher Columbus. He's white, and he's preoccupied with using his influence over others to get his way. it's the very thing he blames Columbus for, yet he exploited a Native American in an attempt justify playing the victim, which would be using power to manipulate people anyway.
