I have no idea if this is satire. It could easily be from Babylon Bee.

I first thought they were changing the name “Whitefish.” Isn’t that just as racist?

It wasn’t names after Gov. Ralph “Coonman” Northam?

I find the name “Whitefish” to be objectionable and racist.

Next up:

The coonhound, colloquially the coon dog, is a type of scent hound, a member of the hound group. They are an American type of hunting dog developed for the hunting of raccoons, as well as feral pigs, boars, bears and mountain lions.

Due to racial insensitivity, the coonhound will now be called the Crackerhound and go through a makeover.

Flathead County, eh? Almost perfect. Virtue-Signaling Moron county would be perfect.

Senator Chris Coons explains to reporters why he is changing his racist name.

He is now known as Senator Chris Spearchucker.

Flathead County

Clearly this was the property of some Indians and was stolen from them.
No doubt about it.
Give it back.

Had a racoon that came into my back yard every evening looking for food scraps.

Named him Sean Coonery.

WHITEfish neighborhood? Sounds racist to me.

FLATHEAT County? Sounds racist to me. (White man talk for the Salish aboriginal peoples.)

Lost Coon Lake - Clearly politically correct. But if they want to change the name, they should revert to the earlier name for the body of water. Per Wikipedia: “Lost Coon Lake was originally known as “N****r Lake” “ (Redaction to avoid causing vapors in our more Woke Freepers.)
