I brought up Hispanic surnames on this thread. If we can judge people based upon their names...then what is going to happen to people with obviously Hispanic surnames after this immigration debaucle gets a full head of steam and turns into hate.

It's kind-of frightening. As I said before, I named my daughter after the Queen of Sheeba. Even though it is considered a "black" name, it has not made her less successful, it has made her unique.

I just made the comment that I did because it's all about criticising people's names and not actually finding out about the person. Plus these threads are just more popular for whatever reason. I live in a very mixed neighborhood and am used to hearing all kinds of names. Now there are also a lot of hispanics and yes you're right. When this immigration thing gets going, you will see a lot of profiling. I just know too many young black professionals who have been profiled this way and not with far out sounding names either, just names like Tammy and Andre. Sheba is a nice biblical name :-)
