Why do Asian people feel they need an English name? Do English speaking people feel they need an Asian name when moving to an Asian country? This seems very sad to me that people feel they need to change their name to fit in or be accepted... just another form of internalized racism 😢
When I was taking Mandarin at uni, we all took Chinese names. Using native language names is easier when speaking that language. It's just a name, it's not like you picked your name when you were born.
English speaking people never pronounce my name properly or remember it. I have my English name to be just convenient. I wasn’t trying to fit in or anything.
keeping your name is good but is good but i got a situation myself i got the last name levesque but realy i'm a couillard so i know a bit wath she's going true
