[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cultural appropriation is way too much for me.  I knew Matt Dunne, and he wasn't liked.[/quote]

This is something that is hard to shake. Dude changes his name to “Mateo” just before an election to honor his in-laws’ family? Yeah if that’s not cultural appropriation, I don’t what is. [/quote]

Sure the timing was weird, but his first name is the same. Mateo = Matthew.

In my family everyone has two names. Some have their english name on their birth record and their name from our ancestral place of origin on religious records, for example. Both names are their names. I honestly don’t see why people make such a big fuss generally about this.

I see this all the time with my friends who immigrated from or were born in Asia. Again, no big deal.

It is sweet to honor someone he was close to by changing the spelling/language. It would’ve been better maybe to do it at a different time, but when is it really ever an ideal time?[/quote]
He sweeter than caramel cake.  [/quote]
