How about Pock-ee-ston?
Or the reporters who always sound like they came from south of the border when they have to pronounce Nicaragua?
How the hell did the 7th planet become "urineness?"
Because they got tired of all the jokes about your-anus.

The rule is that if the inhabitants of a given place are non-White, you have to pronounce the city with the accent of those inhabitants. Even when the name is an exonym. It’s just that the minds at NPR would explode to discover that places like Argentina, Chile, etc., are predominant white.
