Meet an old white lady!




Her name's Betty Brown, and she's a legislator from Texas.

If you're of Asian descent, sh
e thinks you should change your name to something that's "easier for Americans to deal with."

She's also said:
“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?”

Isn't it good to know that euro-centric bigots such as Betty represent us in our democratic government? Maybe we should all change our to names to simple white-folk names like Betty Brown. Now that I think of it, people sometimes have a problem pronouncing my last name too. Maybe I'll change it to Frank Ford so I can sound like a character in an old Western too! Hooray for homogeneity! Boo for diversity! The "melting pot" can suck it!
