It's so freaking gorgeous.

Rear Admiral Rainier never saw the mountain, never climbed it. Vancouver named it after “his friend”. Like someone else mentioned before Rainier fought against the US in the revolutionary war.

I will, because I am in the right lmfao.

Keep excusing cultural erasure, doesn’t look sus whatsoever lol

Keep telling yourself that.

It bad for a group of people to move into a new area and forcefully take over but don't pretend that the latest tribe with a name for a mountain is somehow more "right" than American settlers moving west.

By that logic, a car is a bad design and the driver chose it, so they can sit in traffic while motorcycles slip through.

Lol, I know I’m in the moral right when you have to resort to that level of semantics to try to poke holes in my fundamental argument.

What did the natives before them call it?

Which ones?

The latest occupants of the land before american westward expansion or the ones those indigenous people took the land from? Maybe you mean the people before that? Maybe the first humans who laid eyes on the land?

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…

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.

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.

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.

Okay grandpa let's get you to bed

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’m 33; I learned the name Tahoma when I was young, and not from the internet. There are a lot of people that know its previous name.

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

So it the shoe fits…

Im on pins and needles....Do tell....Oh wait...is it...

RACISIM-REEEEEE!!!!

Why would you have a problem renaming them?

I can think of a reason…

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...

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…

Yep...See how ridiculous this is?

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

And the pickup is Tacoma hun

Here we go again.....

And you are the "representative of the State"?

Guaranteed if you go outside of the King/Pierce/Snohomish SJW dominated metroplex and you say the name "Tahoma", people are going to think "Toyota Pickup"
