[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Xavier is a European name. It's just that black people have started to use it frequently. [b]I find the fact that white people stop using a name once it becomes common for black people a form of racism.[/b] It's like the name Tyrone. Tyrone is also a European name, but white parents almost entirely stopped using it once black people started using it. [b]White parents stop using European names once they become popular for black people because they do not want their white kids to be mistaken for black.[/b][/quote] This. God forbid multiple (!!!) black children might share a name with their child. It's the baby name equivalent of white flight. Black families start to move into a neighborhood? White families move out. Black parents start to use a certain name for their children? White parents stop using that name for their children. Segregation ending is merely an illusion. Self-segregation is alive and well.[/quote]
