Luckily in America if someone has serious grievances about this they can choose to vote for a candidate that will revert it. Given the other things Trump is up to, this is a non-issue. The collective time spent discussing it is sad.

Wasn't your point that "America" is an inclusive term for all of North America? Many of those Americans can't vote in the US even if we accept the absurdity of voting based on naming preferences.

>it's not about inclusivity and the term America does not refer to the continent.

The last five to ten years of activist similarly told us these things don't matter though. Doesn't matter that "blacklist" or "master" has nothing to do with Black people or slavery. We had to change them to more inclusive terms anyway.

>The term "Gulf of Mexico" has been in common use for over 400 years, long before the US was even a thing.

The exact same was said about "blacklist" and "master", among others.

>No one had a legitimate problem with the name.

Someone did, evidenced by the change. Or are you saying we shouldn't give in to the activists pushing this change? How ironic.

I also think blacklist and master are silly terminology changes, so I'm not sure what's ironic here.
