As an american. I want the option to display it as Gulf of Mexico. Like it's always been before that fat sack of shit was trying to win points wit hracists to distract them from the hand reaching up their ass to fuck them.

As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.

Also no on renaming New Mexico.
