Also, John Evans was not unambiguously evil, despite these activists' un-nuanced portrayals.

Since they're not part of day-to-day American English, the diacritical marks are likely to be dropped over time. Leaving simply Mestaaehehe. Only seeing that, how many people would know to pronounce it mess-taw-HAY? For that matter, how many people know how to interpret the diacritical marks at all.
