Isn’t it bigoted to call it the Sombrero galaxy? Just because it resembles a sombrero?? But since certain types of people are associated with sombreros, doesn’t that mean the name has to change? And that the astronomers who came up with such a name need to resign in disgrace???

If it were found today, it’d be named the Aerobee Galaxy.

Is it an illegal galaxy?
Perhaps it is associated with Tequila?
