This is the map of the Gulf of Mexico as seen from outside the US on Google Maps.

Google said it would foist the Gulf of America idiocy only on its US users, but apparently the temptation to flatter His Orangeness was too much, so the rest of the world gets to enjoy it too.

I figured I’d rename it too. I mean why not after all: it seems any idiot can make up geography now.

    It’s erasing history too since a lot of the coast of the gulf was Mexican land which is why it’s named what it is.

      Mexico is still part of North America. So Gulf of America is a better, more inclusive name.

      Wait… Inclusion is one-third of DEI. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT! We need to change it back!

      The “erasing history” part is on purpose
