      I just thought "great lake" sounds funny. Great but not great enough for an actual name.

      I have no clue how they are supposed to be name. In French, we call the place "la région des grands lacs" and I was pretty sure I got the english name right.

      Edit: According to Wikipedia, I've only forgot an s at Lakes.

        I don’t know if Europe could be reasonably considered less racist.

          I mean the Great Lakes are truly inland freshwater oceans with tides, imense international shipping, famous shipwrecks, forgotten shipwrecks, folk songs about famous shipwrecks and even piracy

          So the term "great lakes" clearly communicates that these are lakes (freshwater, not hydrologically connected to the ocean) but also that these are notable lakes as the "great" indicates the size, notability and gives a sense of wonder

              I do know that the Appalachian mountains exist because it's a popular area for horror movies and ghost stories and the people there have an endearing dialect but I couldn't tell you where in the States they're located.

              Once read a forum thread on "how your state/region is depicted in media" and had to point out that aside from one movie about a college the biggest things I could point to were the Wrong Turn movies (slasher movies about inbred cannibal hillfolk) and the movie version of Silent Hill (which is set in WV but based on Centralia, PA while the game version of Silent Hill is in New England).

              Centralia, PA is one of those places with less than a dozen residents and a neat history. It's been on fire since 1962, the government tried to eminent domain all real estate in Centralia and a handful of extremely stubborn folks fought back leading to an agreement where they get to stay there for the rest of their lives after which the property reverts to the government via eminent domain. All seven of them. Five of which are still around as of 2020, having lived under that agreement for forty years. The church still holds services, and their graveyard are still maintained, even the one that's in a perpetual haze as the ground releases smoke.

                Endearing? Just sounds like swamp racism to most.

                    There's also mountain racists and wood racists.

                    It's like varieties of horrible elves.

                            As a lifelong southerner, I can attest to a veritable cornucopia of racists. There are:

                            Swamp racists, marsh racists, bayou racists (all are different), mountain racists, valley racists, low country racists, beach racists, ocean racists (totally different species, unrelated, with overlapping territory), woods racists, forest racists, and countless other unknown and tiny micro communities of different racists.
