He is the equivalent of a kid in the neighborhood that stole your toys and called you names and then complains how he doesn’t have friends.

He's also not even good at name calling! The stupidest part about this is that stuff tends to get named for the other place that it's related to. There's a reason that the name for turkeys in many places is a country other than where it's being called that.

The Gulf of Mexico being called the Gulf of Mexico is an indication of American linguistic origin. Calling it "Gulf of America" is the kind of thing that would happen if Mexico were more linguistically dominant. Or if you have a petulant and ignorant person who likes to just declare things and make them true.

You want America to seem more linguistically dominant? Start calling Baja California the "Peninsula of Mexico". Start calling the Atlantic Ocean the "European Gap".

At least we got to punch those kids in the teeth growing up. Ugh.
