The Curious Case of Beatrice Brown

So you wont think that racism is valid at it was on the days of the Transcontinental Railroad or the 50s; but is true still there is some kind of racism in the world and this time came from Texas State Representative Betty Brown, who said Asian-Americans should change their names because they are hard to pronounce, so how hard is to pronounce Ling, Park, Jung, Hashimoto, Shigeru? I dont know, but they are easy to pronounce but the thing we can say is that Miss Brown is an ignorant by saying that hurtful statement toward the Asian-American community, I guess she is a racist and a proud one because she resist on making an apologize, so how a racist person ended as a States Representative?, only in Texas (hooray for stereotypes, not Asians or Texans but you Miss Brown, you are a stereotype yourself by saying that.)
