[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to do the research necessary to use a name out of their cultural understanding. There can be signifiers that you aren't aware of. And there's a big difference in a POC trying to assimilate using an "American" name like Brian and a white person randomly picking a name from Swahili to seem cool and edgy. [/quote] This. I grew up with a girl whose parents did this and she didn't appreciate her parents attempt at being enlightened.[/quote]
