What you should really be embarrassed about is the fact that she represents it well.

Between her and Sarah Palin, I think it's time to re-think women's suffrage.

Well now I see my chance to change my last name to some asian last name and since I am not even asian this lady will get screwed for racial profiling . . . but she might argue that I am really cock-asian.

So as long as a racist comment isn't JUST about race it's ok?

"Damn I hate those chinks.. but they do make a mean stir-fry"

See that wasn't just about race.. it was about cooking too.. so that makes it ok.

yes i think this deserves three eyerolls

Maybe they'll concede to adopt something similar to how many outsourced tech-support call centers are manned by Indian people who happen to be named 'Bob' and 'Steve.'

People are interesting.

I remember getting a call from BT and someone called 'shane' who was very indian. When he introduced himself as such I told him that he wasn't and if he didn't tell me his real name as I was aware of many indian names, I would tell his bosses he lied to me. He soon did. Sacchin. He was a **** too, I never got what he promised.

If we're going down we're taking the Greeks, Russians, Arabs, Jews, and Africans with us.

we talked about this in a politics class years ago... it's just a really old 'ellis-island' mentality that a lot of people have about immigration. my grandparents changed their last name when they moved here and i bet most people on here who's parents moved here between WW1-WW2 did as well. Not saying it's right to ask someone to change their name i'm just saying this has idea of assimilation with names has been around for obviously a really long time.
