That is some sick shit! The problem is that people with ideas like that infested their offspring with such ideas as well. Hatred like that is passed from generation to generation.

8. You are so right! My father's family were from |

Georgia and racism went from generation to generation. Thank heavens it stopped with my sister and me. We want no part of it and I have passed that on to my children.

3. I'm so glad I got a different education. |

I think you handled it well, though. No need arguing with the woman.

I mean, she is technically right. If you read that story it would appear that people with 'white' sounding names get callbacks and interviews more often than people with ethnic sounding names.
Of course it's absurd that she would actually, in seriousness, tell you to do this.
But this country has a long history of people coming here and changing their names to fit in.
I'm sure she's just a harmless old lady who didn't mean any offense by it.
I hope, at least.

7. Why don't you tell her |
|
next time you chat that "Edith" conjures up images of orthopedic shows, blue hair and dentures and that you'd feel better calling her Tyfynni (make sure you spell it for her). Tell her that the eldery get no respect and she'll be much better off with some lipo, breast implants and a nice cheerleader-sounding name. See how she goes for that! :eyes:

Maybe you should threaten to put Shamiqua on her tombstone. Tell her that with a name like 'Ruby' (whatever), she'll never get into heaven.
