Apparently, Texas representative Betty Brown think so. She believes Asian names are too hard to pronounce and we should all adopt a name that's easy for "real americans" to say. I don't even know what to think when I come across something as heinous as this. It's unfathomable to me how ignorant some of our decision makers are, even with a man named Barack Obama as our president, there are still bigots out there making these ridiculous statements. It's also not a surprise that she's from Texas, the state known for inbred-retards, also known as white people. Maybe asian people should all dye our hair blonde and wear blue contacts, that would surely restore the old fashion American values. I mean, what's next? are we going to start rounding up minorities in concentration camps? most of the minority populations are already in ghettos, so it would probably be a pretty easy transition. I don't know how people like Betty Brown even get elected, but if America wants to be taken seriously by other nations, people like Betty Brown must be taken out of positions of power. I have an unique name, I like my name, and I love it when white people have trouble pronouncing it. It's not my job to make sure white people feel comfortable, matter of fact, I want them to feel uncomfortable around me, I want them to know that I am nothing like them. I could have just adopted a name like Joe or David, but I feel it's important for Asian Americans to use their 'ethnic names'. By not adopting white names, we are making a statement, we are creating a counter-culture, and we are fighting the oppressive white power that has tried to dominate us for centuries. Just because we have a black president doesn't mean our fight is over, there are still plenty of racism and prejudice out there, and it's our job to keep fighting and keep pushing back, because the moment we become complacent, everything our predecessor have done will be useless. Fuck what white people think, we are not here for them. So make a statement, and change your name to something unique, represent your culture!!!
