Columbia is also the name given to the female personification of the United States.

Not that this dumb bimbo would know or care.

Here is all that needs to be done. Congratulate them for being so "woke" for getting rid of a name that celebrates a person that colonized and enslaved indigenous ppl. They won't know what to do.

Exactly. It's not named after Columbus per se, it's named after... America.
