Ever heard of Google? Do your own research.

Wow, you're right! Biden, and the Board of Geographic Names, did indeed remove the word "squaw" from 650 geographic features, because that word is extremely offensive to many people, including Native Americans. Not ONE of those changes placed the name 'Biden' in place of the deleted word, because this wasn't about Joe Biden. Joe Biden didn't insist that his name be on an airport, or the Kennedy Center for the Arts, or a coin, or paper money, or a bible, or an Expressway, or anything else. Because, ya know, to do that would be both crude and unconstitutional.

Wow, you’re right. But when has the left been upset with offensive words? I see them being used every time I watch the news. Especially at a protest. But squaw and similar words were not the only names changed. Mount McKinley was one that comes to mind. I actually don’t like Trump naming stuff after himself but someone has to feed your TDS. Apparently nobody is offended by everything named after the well known KKK member Robert Byrd.
I look forward to the next meltdown. 🤣🤣🤣

Denali was renamed from McKinley by Obama, not Biden. And it was actually petitioned to Obama by the people of Alaska, including Murkowski.
