Maybe change "Robin" to "Latino in Blackface".

The left is trying to eradicate anything that connects us to our past and gives our culture identity.

“AOS is made up of morons. Where do these people come from?”
They have been around forever, they just weren’t as vocal. Why, you ask.
Many reasons, but one big one is “SHAME”. The absence of shame.
Used to be because of “shame” these morons would be afraid of being shamed by others for their goofy, abnormal ideas. So they would keep quiet.
Now, EVERYTHING is okay! EVERYTHING gets a pass. You can’t shame/ridicule ANYONE or you are that type of “phobe”.
They use “inclusive” as a club to keep you in line. How DARE you criticize my weird destructive, harmful to society, actions!
Can’t we all just get along?

This Blue Jay identifies as a Pink Jay, and wants you to stop stereotyping him, and to start referring to him by that Pink Jay name from now on. He/she/it is also demanding that everyone address him/her properly in the future using the correct pronouns he/she/it has selected. (He may look blue, but deep, down inside he feels pink.)

Doesn’t matter what you call them, the birds still won’t answer when you do.

Insanity. And not the good kind.
Besides being stupid, the move is kind of pointless. Let’s say they rename the Baltimore Oriole to the Eastern Oriole. The first sentence in the bird’s description will read, “The Eastern Oriole, formerly called the Baltimore Oriole...”, so the original name will live on forever.

“ the activists, most of them White, argued that the names of some birds were offensive to people of color.”
Idiots. What do liberal white activists think is NOT offensive to “people of color”?

The only issue i can see is that many state and federal laws and documents list the names of birds in terms or environmental protections and controls. If this Private organization wants to change names, I don’t think they have the right or the power to just do so and expect state and federal governments to just change a whole lot of legislations willy nilly just because some private group snaps their fingers!
