• Damn whatever committee of the U.N. is foisting this gibberish on us! To hell with them and all their works! GYPSIES! PEKING! LAPPS! BOMBAY! HOTTENTOTS! Come and get me, you bastards!

This may be the only thing I agree with that dude about. Add The Sudan and The Ukraine, the Northwest Territories, and Danzig to the list, among others that I have probably forgotten.

I will concede Istanbul to the Turks, although they really should have changed the name in 1453, not some 450 years later.
