Nope, actually plenty of people call it the proper name irl. Especially younger people who look down on whitewashing cultural history.

Not everyone is cool with cultural erasure.

Born and lived 52 years in Tacoma (I'm sorry, should I say təqʷuʔməʔ). Have 2 "younger" woke kids educated by the Public Schools. Literally no one, even them, calls it Tahoma outside of you keyboard warriors.

Lol, have you ever considered that you and your children are in fact not wholly representative of the state? Or did that just never cross your mind. Your generation is plagued with racism, so guess what, they’re more than a bit biased.

Lol, instead of actually offering a coherent counterpoint to why it is not racism they blocked me. I wonder why?

And you are the "representative of the State"?

Guaranteed if you go outside of the King/Pierce/Snohomish SJW dominated metroplex and you say the name "Tahoma", people are going to think "Toyota Pickup"

Oh, here comes the "racist" accusation. Typical. Good day. Blocked.

I’m 33; I learned the name Tahoma when I was young, and not from the internet. There are a lot of people that know its previous name.
