Names are Funny is They're Not White

Matt Yglesias points out some jerkoff from Indianapolis who's upset about foreigners having names that are odd to us.

This reminds me of my 7th grade graduation, when everybody's full names were read out loud. About 60% of my class was black, and at that age I guess nobody really asked or cared what everyone else's middle names were.  The howls of laughter let out by all the white adults as funny African middle name after funny African middle name was announced almost shook the gym.

And no, this doesn't make me racist, since I love What's Happening! and, of course, Buuuuuuuuuuuuuf!
