OMG. Thank you for reminding me of the most awful racial stereotype in Hollywood movies since Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Thank you for reminding me of why my parents gave me an American name after having their Korean names mocked and ridiculed. Thank you for reminding me of all the similar racial crap I heard when I was trying to get my book published. Wow.

And now I shall wait for the next anonymous email complaining about how you aren’t a racist and how I’m over reacting.

There was a post a while back similar to this with black names.  Or should I say “ghetto” names.  You know?  "La so and so" and whatnot?  There was a post that went into the significance of such names but how they’ve been downgraded to this, “LOL Maury guest number 502 lookin’ for her baby daddy” status in our culture now.  It was really interesting, sort of this moment of, “…. oh.  Snap.”
