Maybe France should just rename itself and all of its cities so they are not constantly reminded of the shame and embarassment of being Frech.

The best way to eradicate a people or a culture is to remove the memory of
their existence. The ancient Egyptians would chisel names and accomplishments from
monuments. For this reason, I have always wondered about the true motives of people
who wish to rename sports teams and places.
If I wanted to be rid of native american issues, I would for example rename the
Mississippi, Missouri, and Osage rivers. At the same time I would retain, say, the Snake
river and attribute it to native americans.
