Whether you call it the Gulf of Mexico or America seems uncontroversial. I find removing the original name of Denali and returning to the imperial name of McKinley to be far more offensive.

As for this post, I guess removing the name Denali is akin to small penis energy. So your version of the gulf is fitting.

Renaming it excludes it from existing legal language, like the Gulf of Mexico protection and restoration act. It SHOULD be controversial, but everywhere I look I see people joking about it as if there's no real-world repercussions. https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B%22source%22%3A%22committee-materials%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22Gulf+of+Mexico%22%7D
