[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why my marriage is any of your business. I'm an American-born Asian man and I am proud to be married to my wife. My wife is half 3rd generation Swedish and half English descendant from one of the original migrants on the Mayflower. My wife had her first husband's name when we married (she had been divorced for 3 years, but never changed her name back). The only restriction I asked was that she not keep her first husband's last name. I was find with her changing to my name, to her going back to her maiden name, or choosing a new surname for our family. She chose to change to my name and has been using my last name for 22 years now. She wanted our whole family unit to have the same surname. There has been no cultural appropriation, confusion or faked diversity. When asked, she has no problem saying that her husband is Chinese American. It easily explains the surname without any issues. And really, it's none of your business what my family chooses to do. So, please, just MYOB.[/quote]
