Rename John Wayne Airport?

Some people are calling for the John Wayne Airport to be renamed.

This is a very softball interview. Ethan Wayne says that portions of the 50 year old interview were taken out of context. So of course the next question put to Mr. Wayne should have been, "What was the context?".

This is just one of the quotes from the interview that people take exception to.
Quote:

I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.
Here is the rest of the interview. I've no idea what parts of the interview didn't make it to print.

Quote:

PLAYBOY: That's hardly the point, but let's change the subject. For years American Indians have played an important—if subordinate—role in your Westerns. Do you feel any empathy with them?
WAYNE: I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
Yeah. Rename the airport.
