Ignorant. Are they suggesting anyone with that name also change it?
I want New York, named after the Duke of York, later King James II, founder of the Royal African Company renamed. City and State. Shouldn’t be named after England’s largest slave trader.
Pursued to its “woke” (warped) conclusion, shouldn’t every black American with a European family name be “decolonized” by being compelled to adopt a geographically suitable African family name?
And while we are about it, why not decolonize everything by stripping names off of everything? Strip every building, every bridge, airport, dam, street, etc. Branch out to city name, then counties, and states. A heck of lot of cultural appropriation in using Native American names in naming states and geographical features.
And the one thing we must avoid at all costs is using the name of any past or presently living human being because there is a possibility, however slight, that sometime in the past they may just possibly had and/or expressed an insensitive, unwoke thought. Perhaps even two.
Going back to birds. Don’t forget to decolonize their scientific names as well. This is because using Latin and Greek is very definitely a manifestation of White Supremacy.
And the Periodic Table!!! Don’t get me started.
