Michael Ossmann on Nostr: Just in case it isn’t super clear, renaming #Denali to Mount McKinley is racist. ...
Just in case it isn’t super clear, renaming #Denali to Mount McKinley is racist. Trump loves to point out that it was Obama who changed the name to Denali, but Alaskans had been consistently calling the mountain Denali (a native Alaskan name) for decades before Obama was elected. The only reason to highlight Obama’s involvement is to appeal to racists. If you aren’t racist, nazi scum, you’ll keep calling it Denali.
