Historic American Name Generator Needed for Asian Americans
A Texas legislator, a Republican for sure, has the neato idea of getting Asian Americans to Americanize their names so there’s no confusion down at the voer registration office. Evidently Betty Brown is all worried about all the Nguyens voting Democratic, or some such nonsense. I recommend we find a way to give them cool names.

2. Prgobably help those named Ngo
Who can pronounce that? Finally, a Republican with a practical, if xenophobic, idea!

4. Clearly you are correct
Then again, maybe it is the MSG that made you sick. Ever think of that? I recommend we rename it Madison Square Garden in order to protect good Americans.

5. if you read what she's saying
she basically says that Americans are too stupid to handle foreign names. seems more like an attack on her fellow texans to me.

6. But what if she's right?
We had a Texan in the White House that proves she's right, didn't we?
