This lady has lost her closed-mind. She wants asian-americans to adopt a caucasoidish name, because asian names are difficult to pronounce...are you kidding me? and no, she's not just some idiot spouting idiocy in the streets-this nincompoop is TX State Rep. Betty Brown!!
From the Chronicle:
The comments caused the Texas Democratic Party on Wednesday to demand an apology from state Rep. Betty Brown, R-Terrell. But a spokesman for Brown said her comments were only an attempt to overcome problems with identifying Asian names for voting purposes.
The exchange occurred late Tuesday as the House Elections Committee heard testimony from Ramey Ko, a representative of the Organization of Chinese Americans.
Ko told the committee that people of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descent often have problems voting and other forms of identification because they may have a legal transliterated name and then a common English name that is used on their driver's license on school registrations.
Brown's spokesman has said she was not trying to make a racially motivated comment. Her comments did, however, cause politicians as far away as New York to call on her to apologize for her statements.
As Kristv.com reports, one such complaint came from New York City Councilman John Liu:
In a letter to Brown sent Thursday, Liu called on her to either apologize or resign.
"It's outrageous and insulting for you to suggest it would 'behoove' us to adopt another name, to give up our birthright and a part of our own identity, in order to exercise our right to vote," he said. source

Please know...threats of hell and bible scriptures are futile-look at your church if you don't believe me! Get your 'body of christ' in order and then come talk to me.
Yours in Reason, Bria :)
