People should name their children whatever the hell they want. For christs sake, it's a fucking name.

It's a parents responsibility to teach a child how to deal with biggots and racists if they happen to have a child with coloured skin or if they choose to give their child a non white name.

I can't believe this is even a topic of conversation.

As to African people having 'white names', I don't suppose anyone thinks they got those names because of missionary influences in their native country? I seriously doubt a tribal woman from africa gave birth and said, "I think I'll name my son John" out of the blue.

Names are names. They say something about who you are and where you come from. Keep your name and your heritage and stand your ground! If everyone just caves in to the biggots of society nothing will ever change.
