(38,282 posts)Virtually all of my Asian students (especially Chinese and Korean) use anglicized names. I've asked them not to use a name they are uncomfortable with jsut to make life easier for me, and have expressed genuine interest in learning the correct pronunciation. The pretty much universal response is that they prefer a name people generally pronounce correctly. (I'm sure some - even many of them - would agree that America is racist - but that is not related, in their minds at least, to racism.)

You can fault Haley for lots of things, but her name isn't one of them.

(7,733 posts)The blanket statement is thrown out for a blanket response.
She wants Democrats to reply with, Of course America is racist.
Then, that would become their rallying cry, and would be offensive and untrue. She is a clever, manipulative Con woman.
