Can U Say.. Racist?

[SP]

On Tuesday, State Rep. Betty Brown (R) caused a firestorm during House testimony on voter identification legislation when she said that Asian-Americans should change their names because they’re too hard to pronounce:

“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?” Brown said.

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?”

lol.. word.

But at the same time that's stereotypical itself..

'cuz I know white texans who aren't racist in any way..

But I know you weren't generalizing all white texans as racist..

Just the majority of 'em.. lol..

I actually think it's funny,
how she doesn't see anything wrong with what she's saying.

Just straight up tells them they should adopt simpler names.. lmao..

But yeah.. that's pretty racist...

lmao. "Betty Brown" .. classic caucasian name.
