A bit of history is in order here....

"But the South kept slaves, so the word "south" is just code for race hate and must be banned. Those states should therefore be called the Less-Northern states"

Slavery had it origins in New England, and slaves were kept there, as well!

"Likewise, the hateful Mason-Dixon Line will henceforth be called the Mason Line so as not to offend"

Mr. Mason and Mr. Dixon were surveyors who laid down the state line between Pennsylvania & Maryland.
