What century are we in?
A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.”
The exchange occurred late Tuesday as the House Elections Committee heard testimony from Ramey Ko, a representative of the Organization of Chinese Americans. Brown suggested that Asian-Americans should find a way to make their names more accessible.
“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s 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?” Brown said.
WTF? Doesn’t Ms. Brown know that Mandarin could be the universal second language, behind English. A little sensitivity please.

Thanks for reporting on it. I didn’t realize this occurred.
Wow, talk about ignorance and racist.
Do you think it would behoove you and your citizens. She sounded like a KKK member. Your citizens?…Like Asian Americans are “other citizens” Hello? Disturbing. Dumb bitch. Bad example for white people. We are all not like that. Just dumb Southerns..JK about the Southerns part.
