I saw this some years ago in school work (my daughter is 29again ...)

Nat Geo is declaring a new ocean.

There’s a new ocean now—can you name all 5?

On World Oceans Day, Nat Geo cartographers say the swift current circling Antarctica keeps the waters there distinct and worthy of their own name: the Southern Ocean.

So much bigotry! THIS IS NOT OK!

How do they know that the "Southern" Ocean even identifies as an ocean?

Maybe it identifies as a Sea? or as a "collective amalgamation of H2O droplets?" Hell, maybe it doesn't even identify as a body of water at all!

Ban and cancel Nat Geo for their bigoted stereotyping!
