Are you offended that most Hurricanes have European names?
There are hardly any Hurricanes that were named after Africans, Asians, and Native Americans. Are the people who give these Hurricanes names racist? Why can't Hurricanes be named Muhammad or Chen? White people are racist and it's time that we stop this oppression.
Harvey- England and Scotland
Jose- Spain, Portugal, and France
Sandy and Katia- Greece
Matthew and Andrew- England
Irma, Wilma and Katrina- Germany
We already have Trump and his racist supporters to destroy our lives. We don't need Hurricanes with names that trigger people of color.
Julio is a European name. That would trigger POC.

Oh yes it's SO offensive to use European names when living in a Eurocentric country that uses a European first language *sarcasm*.
I don't see how anyone could possibly get triggered by this - immigrants that go to live in America want the European lifestyle. They want to learn English. What's the point of moving to America if you're going to demand they start naming their Hurricanes "王伟".
When I go travelling to India or Botsawana, I don't get offended that they use Indian or Botswana names. That's preposterous. I don't demand they respect MY culture. No - it's their culture - they do what they want - I am just a tourist.

The white (of Euro descent) scientists who name these hurricanes have simlilar names.
Next hurricane can be named Laqueefa (= traditional African ghetto name) if you want. I don't care.

LOL Errrrr is this what the white nationalist are using these days as evidence of a threat against them? If this is your concern, clearly you're not persecuted LMAO. You have to spit on, have your family die in a genocide, blamed for every problem on earth before you can complain. You know not what racism feels like dear. Stop finding reasons to feel sorry for yourself.
