[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it bad form for a lily-white American woman who marries a man with an obviously Latino/Asian/Middle Eastern-sounding name to change to her husband's name or should she keep her own (anglo-American) surname? Of course some women today prefer keeping their maiden names anyway. I don't know why, but something just rubs me as cultural appropriation or faking diversity when someone like Larla Jones gets married and becomes Larla Rodriguez, Larla Zhang, or Larla Al-Habib. It's like pretending not to be white. [/quote] Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman. John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison. Jack Palance was born Volodymyr Palahniuk. Kirk Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch Demsky. White guys change their names to hide their ethnicity why can’t white women take names by marriage that don’t accurately represent their ethnicity either.[/quote]
