Betty Brown should change her name to Jane Doe

I just came across a post by John C. Liu on facebook referring to his post on the John C. Liu for NYC Comptroller website titled
Judge Us Not by Our Names,
but by the Content of Our Character and Civic Participation.
at Texas House Representative Betty Brown
It is not only about Asian names. What about Jewish names? Greek names? German names? French names? Norwegian names? Dutch names? Latin names? Spanish names? African names? Middle-Eastern names?
Ms. Betty Brown, why don’t you change your name to something we all (including all foreign immigrants) can pronounce easily? Like “Jane Doe”.
Heck, why don’t we all be named “John Doe” and “Jane Doe”. We don’t have to worry about identity theft then. We will all share each others credit history and if our Command-in-Chief has it, share the money we work so hard to save. We should all be the same. Everyone can go by the same names, does the same job (lazily doing nothing, enjoying the air we breath), getting the same pay and appreciating the fact that the government can make all the decisions for us (oh wait, they are going to be the same “John Doe” and “Jane Doe”, getting the same pay, doing the same things, lazily enjoying the air). Hmm… that is one America I cannot imagine living in. It would be so un-American! So un-capitalistic. Shall I say it? So socialistic.
Just because something is different for you to comprehend, you want them to change to match your personal beliefs and tastes. That would make life very boring, in my opinion. Where would the ingenuity be? No more uniqueness?
Ms. Brown, your comment is so anti-American. If you don’t like being American and the American “melting pot”, please leave the country.
The diversity of America is what makes America unique. It is what makes America strong. Freedom to have different ideas and be creative, coming up with different ways to make tomorrow a better day for our children.
It would be a very sad day when we lose the American uniqueness.
By the way, Ms. Brown, what would you suggest our President, Barack Obama, change his name to? How about “Bob Brown”? Would that make it easier for you? After all, it is about you pronouncing it, right?

This Reminds Me Of Jimmy’s Last name
Excuse me?
Gee … maybe her next move would be to have TV shows change their names something she can pronounce.
