Texas Representative, Betty Brown, asks Asian Americans to change their names:

"Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?", she said
[I am ignoring the fact that she was talking about US Citizens, so what “your” citizens?]

Brown later told [Organization of Chinese Americans representative Ramey Ko: “Can’t you see that this is something that would make it a lot easier for you and the people who are poll workers if you could adopt a name just for identification purposes that’s easier for Americans to deal with?”

She did not just stop there, oh no. Instead of apologizing, her spokesman blamed Democrats saying they "want this to just be about race."

What really does she propose anyway? have a list of ‘approved’ names you have to pick your child’s name from? Do a poll to see if individuals should change their names?

Is it really that crazy to expect elected officials to use at least some common sense?
