There was an article in The Atlantic today about football and how white kids are turning away from football because of the fear of brain trauma. The article was mostly about this black family.

The mother is 31, and her sons are 11, 12, and 14. She is working on her GED, and has a job working nights in a warehouse. The family lives in a small prefab house in a small town in rural Georgia. One of the kids is named Jyqwayvin and one is named Marqwayvian. There are at least three last names represented in this household. The mother is hoping that her sons can get football scholarships.

On the one hand I feel for these people, but on the other hand, their problems are of their own making and blaming white people is ridiculous.

Marqwayvian?

Names ending in -ian are often Armenian (like George Deukmejian).

Let's hope that when Marqwayvian applies to Ivy League colleges, his application isn't processed by someone who is prejudiced against Armenians.
