Many people have simplified their names. Polish names particularly seem unfathomable when it comes to their pronunciation: Swenderinski,Stuczynski, Szczecin,Bydgoszcz.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-67078894054043239372009-04-10T11:03:00.000-05:002009-04-10T11:03:00.000-05:00Some lawmakers in Latin American wanted to forbid ...Some lawmakers in Latin American wanted to forbid the wearing of hats by Indians, others wanted to forbid the Feathers on Head adornments or whatever those Indian Panaches, Plumes or Crests are called.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that an Indian may feel naked without his feathers or his or her hat.<BR/><BR/>Since I study crime and murder I know that hired gunmen feel extremely depressed if deprived of the automatic pistol by police or their mafia brethren. You may laugh but this is true. Without their automatic gun that shoots 200 bullets per minute they feel constant fear and are scared, defenseless as babies.<BR/><BR/>If hats, plumes, feathers, flamboyant, ponchos, etc ... are so important.<BR/><BR/>Imagine "What is in a name ?"<BR/><BR/>I guess Shakespeare said something about that, but I forgot where.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://milenials.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"><STRONG>Milenials.com</STRONG></A><BR/><BR/>Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-11814755898895498922009-04-09T14:30:00.000-05:002009-04-09T14:30:00.000-05:00Great comments!When someone plays the ignorance ca...Great comments!<BR/><BR/>When someone plays the ignorance card (oops, maybe they aren't pretending after all), it is rather appalling to think that they have no concept that this nation was rebuilt (I say rebuilt since it was someone else's nation before) by people of all color, and Chinese and Mexicans did a lot of work at very little pay to build our railroads, and that Japanese Americans built up the lush farmlands in California before being forced off their lands, which fed much of our nation.<BR/><BR/>With so many Asian immigrants from Vietnam, and Korea, they tend to have rather short, one syllable names, so what does that say about the inability towards being able to pronounce those names? <BR/><BR/>I have have a friend of Czechoslovakian descent and ten years later, my uncle still can't pronounce his last name, and it's a lot easier than one of my other friends of Polish descent who has more z's and y's than you can imagine. And then of course some Spanish last names get pretty long, well, beyond one syllable if one is syllablistically impaired.Tamale Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12779421084713229784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-36915418104093346532009-04-09T13:29:00.000-05:002009-04-09T13:29:00.000-05:001. Uh, Asians are Americans too. 2. Not all Asians...1. Uh, Asians are Americans too. <BR/>2. Not all Asians are Chinese so learning Chinese won't help you pronounce everyone's name (but it might improve your intelligence quotient) <BR/>3.Sometimes people who aren't Asian have polysyllabic names which might be "difficult to pronounce." <BR/>4.It's not fair for Texas to stack the deck with stupid politicians - ignorance should be spread around.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583438645860375661noreply@blogger.com
