[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and my name has an 'r' in it which my Chinese boss cannot pronounce![/quote] Heard of the name Hans? One Chinese thought it had something to do with the Han dynasty. He was confused[/quote] There is nothing remarkable here, in either case. For the former, it's true that people of certain backgrounds sometimes have difficulty with pronouncing the letter "r"; for the latter, Ok, it's not like he is representative of all Chinese people. The "Han Chinese" represent the largest proportion of the population in China, so no wonder he might automatically think of his own heritage if he heard a name sounding similar to his own background.
