“BLANCO Fracture Zone”? That’s mighty racist of them!
It is way past time to rename it the “BIPOC Fracture Zone.”
The cape may have been named by explorer Martín de Aguilar in 1603 for its appearance, as blanco means "white" in Spanish.[4][5] In 1775, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra named the point Cabo Diligensias.[4] It was later renamed Cape Orford by Captain George Vancouver in 1792, but this name fell into disuse and Cape Blanco became the common usage.[4]Apparently the fracture zone takes its name from the westernmost point of the contiguous US. I’d name it the Windy Bitch Fracture Zone.
If you’re gonna get that ball rolling, how about we strip California of all Spanish names? And many of them have Christian names. For shame....
