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. |
What should your last name have been? |

What you're talking about is an attitude held by immigrants. This is a little different. Immigrants choosing to change their names is one phenomenon and a legislator coercing people of a certain heritage to change their names is an entirely different phenomenon. |
