[quote=Anonymous]I am Hispanic but I gave both of my kids very traditional, very American (re: WHITE) names because of this. I've had friends named "Yessi", "Maria" etc. and they've faced terrible discrimination. I remember once in college, a boy asked us if we were getting our MRS degree for a green card. In college. In America. It's sad and true. My grandmother, first generation in my family to come to the US, changed her name from Maria Teresa to just Teresa and completely took my grandfather's last name. It's not okay to be exotic unless you're European exotic. It's not okay to have an accent unless it's a European accent. It's not okay to have a unique, interesting name unless you're European unique.[/quote]
