Texas Legislator Wants Asians To Americanize Names

April 13, 2009 | ISSUE 45•16

Texas state Rep. Betty Brown suggested that Asian-American voters should change their names to something "easier for Americans to deal with." What do you think?

  • Wouldn’t it just be easier to teach Texans how to read?

    Harvey Martin

  • Maybe they should adopt names that sound like the love interest of a superhero, as Betty Brown clearly did.

    Maria Delfina Lobry
    Nutritionist

  • Yeah, that’s why I changed my name from Tim to Tom.

    Tom Ong
