It would be amazing if they had arrived to the Americas and ask some natives about how they call a place and they said “this? This is New Amsterdam. We don’t know what’s Amsterdam but this is a newer version of it”

My ancestors had great names for places. Then the white invaders killed most of us and named our land after their home.

I think this meme would be better suggested to say white European immigrants to America.

Exactly - they weren’t “Americans” yet.

Let’s name our town “New [someplace we miss back home].”

Other than the earliest settlements, most cities in the US were named by people born in North America.
