Ignorance is still running rampant!
Texas Rep Betty Brown asked that voters of Asian descent should adopt names that are "easier for Americans to deal with." Her exact quote was:
Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese -- I understand its a rather difficult language -- do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?
For those of you who think we're moving to a post-racial society, this is my PSA. This is further proof that a color blind society is really a call for assimilation. It always comes at the expense of individuality.
