    Was more pointing to the fact that country/geographic names are often Anglicized because that’s how western maps would label them (incorrect translations or pronunciations).

    There’s a pacific island nation changing their name to their original because for decades they were known as the colonizer name. Is that wrong or oppressive?

    So I guess deciding what to be called would be up to that nation.
