...success or failure depends on the person, not on their name. I believe you are saying, a child with an ethnic name is saddled with poor parenting and thus will fail. That is an indefensible position.

I am not saying exactly what you said I was saying. I am only saying that these names add an extra burden. Many children will overcome it, but some will not. I am not saying that all parents who give their children names like Anfernee and Chiloquethia are poor parents, or that these children will fail. I am saying that the names are obstacles, and ones that, I hope, will be overcome. If you think that little Adolph will be treated the same as little Brian, who are otherwise equal, we do disagree on that. But that's ok.....

We all have burdens in life.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
