Extract: CITY planners have been accused of commemorating too many "white people" in the naming of streets and squares.

Napoleon Plaza is to be no more after the city council received just a handful of complaints.

One submission claimed "there are too many places in the city named after white people".

Another complainant said naming the square — which lies beneath a skyscraper and a motorway — after a centuries old Emperor, lends "credibility to the perception of Australians as cultural yobs".


Comment:

They should rename Bennelong Point (where the Opera House is situated). There are too many places in the city named after black people.
