“Companies want to be located in a State named after Indians?”
Good point. If the “Redskins” must change their name, so should Illinois. It isn’t the name of the “native Americans”, it is the name the French gave them.
According to http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Illinois/IllinoisNameOrigin.html Illinois is the French version of an Algonquin Indian word for “warriors” or “tribe of superior men.”
Looks like a name change is in order on two counts:
Racism and gender inequality.
