Texas Legislator Wants Asians To Americanize Names

Harvey Martin,

“Wouldn’t it just be easier to teach Texans how to read?”
Maria Delfina Lobry,
Nutritionist
"Maybe they should adopt names that sound like the love interest of a superhero, as Betty Brown clearly did."
Tom Ong,
Pediatrician
“Yeah, that’s why I changed my name from Tim to Tom.”
