Alex, in the category of geographical location names I will answer the question. What is THE GULF OF AMERICA?

What does renaming the gulf have to do with Cancel Culture? Nothing.

What I support is personal responsibility rather than blaming others, patriotism instead of hatred of America, and allowing people to apologize for their (real, not fake outrage) mistakes without having their lives and careers ruined. If you disagree with any of that, I feel sorry for you.

I looked at the ad after this post, but what she says is true, parents do pass down their genes to their children. And both her eyes and jeans are blue. Sort of like saying the moon is in the sky. And she is happy. No teen angst etc Hey, you want to get offended by it… go ahead.

Arbitrary renaming international locations or places because the place name was given by a culture you are mad at is most definitely a cancel culture move on the highest order of overinflated ego, designed to show distain for another country and culture, imo.
I support personal responsibility also. I also am also a patriot who proudly served this country for 6 years, part of that time in Vietnam. I, like you, love my country. And I, like you, believe in allowing apologies for mistakes. I also believe in acknowledging our history, good and bad, and going forward to make our country a place where all can feel respected, appreciated, safe, secure, equal and free.

Places are renamed all the time. Depends on who is in power, eg Stalingrad became Volgograd after “our father, Stalin” in Russia became “that genocide monster, Stalin” since he killed 20 million of his own countrymen to implement his communist woke ideology. Etc. reinterpreting history is on-going, everywhere.

you don't have to walk on eggshells. Stand your ground. Be a strong voice

Will you be offering math on the Missouri River, Mississippi River, and Lake Ontario next?

Math (or any other science) had nothing to do with the local renaming.

I'm pretty sure the renaming of neither the city nor the reputation had nothing to do with the communist ideology or being woke (which Stalin wasn't). The renaming had everything to do with the rejection of who the man actually was and what he actually did/ordered, ///

I think she was in a show that I watched but I can't recall anything about her.

This most likely will draw more attention to her and her acting career. Here's hoping the political aspect of that attention doesn't wind up hurting her.
I see nothing political about the ad.

And whether the ad will sell more jeans or not, it has certainly turned some people away.

So which part is "Bull?"
AE is laughing all the way to the bank on this. The ad is not racial at all. And if you've seen her, she looks great and does have good genes!
