    You are doing it the wong way. The wight way to do it is to acknowledge the victory of the colonizers. Take Denali for example.

      I’m not up to speed on this I guess. I thought bringing back the name Denali was a good thing. Is there some more to the story that I’m missing?

        This same order gets rid of Denali and puts back Mt McKinley.

        Edit: I’m assuming from the negative voting that you were not the only one to not hear this part of the news.

    If we want to rename things (Mexico was a LOT larger in the olden times) why don’t we call it “Gulf of the Americas?”

    Oh because it doesn’t support imperial single minded nationalism and isn’t USA centered

      America is a continent, not a country. “Americas” is as correct as “Europes”. But certainly those who decided to call it gulf of america are not aware of that.
