It’s almost like this is an important and ongoing conversation that needs to be had…

And the pickup is Tacoma hun

Yep...See how ridiculous this is?

Nope. People fought for decades to rename Denali, and now it is recognized as such by the Department of the Interior.

What is ridiculous is the number of people who are ok with cultural erasure to honor a man who fought against the founding of the US…

You people are insufferable.... Should we also change the name(s) of Vancouver? Whidbey Island? Puget Sound (oh you probably prefer the equally ridiculous "Salish Sea")

The list goes on and on. And on.... At what point do you and your SJW cohorts become satisfied? When NOTHING has a name? Because I am CERTAIN the people that were here before the Lushootseed called it something else. As did the people who were here before them...

I just like the sound of the words better. Rainier sounds sneery and mean to me and Salish Sea is a million times more poetic and fun to say than Puget Sound. Tahoma is also easy to say and unique to here, unlike Rainier.

Probably some of the more difficult to pronounce in English places will never change so you'll have that.

Also, some places are confusing, such as all the Marginal Ways in Seattle. I would like those to get new names too. We could even vote democratically on them.

Why would you have a problem renaming them?

I can think of a reason…

Well I have yet to see a SINGLE one of you people actually convey a sound and rationale argument…

So it the shoe fits…

1st - us normies (non SJW types) don't care any longer if you call us "racist". You all have removed the venom of that word with over use.

You know very little about me - and if you think I'm a "racist" because of our brief and (after point 2) terminated interaction, then you prove my point.

Point 2 - Do you not understand you (because of your SJW blinders) are UNABLE to recognize ANY "rationale (sic) argument"? Nothing short of white/patriarchy erasure is enough for you.

Go tilt at windmills elsewhere.

Actually most decent people do care about being called racist, you’re further proving me right…

If anything that would be true for your SJW use… fighting for social justice isn’t something anyone is ashamed of.

And it’s adorable to claim I don’t understand any rationale after completing and wholly failing to make any…

So what is the basis of this disturbing you so much? Why can’t the name be changed if you say it’s been called something else before Tahoma. Seems like you really care.

I DON'T care - name it Candy Nipples Shoots Fire.

What I do care about is the idiocy and virtue signalling of SJWs with the holier than thou tut tutting.

Literally these “SJWs” are doing nothing but refer to it as Tahoma. Meanwhile the true snowflakes are throwing a hissy fit about it.

And they live in a state NAMED AFTER THE FIRST PRESIDENT. They don’t see or what to see the irony of honoring a traitor in this state. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I would say it is hilarious… but honestly it’s more concerning than it is funny
