Didn’t LA start out as Spanish speaking first before the Anglophones conquered it?

Yes, the question of how it came to be called "Los Angeles" in the first place never gets brought up in this kind of discourse Or for that matter why it's called "Taiwan" (Taiwan is an indigenous name that Mandarin speakers have given a false etymology in Mandarin)
