Fuck you, Betty Brown
A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt names that are “easier for Americans to deal with.”The comments caused the Texas Democratic Party on Wednesday to demand an apology from state Rep. Betty Brown, R-Terrell. But a spokesman for Brown said her comments were only an attempt to overcome problems with identifying Asian names for voting purposes.

My thoughts are that all Asians should change their name to Betty Brown, the men and the women. I bet that won't make things at all easier for voter registration or whatever shit. In fact, the whole state should change their name to Betty Brown. Can you imagine the chaos. LOL.

Holy shit - I saw that on the news last night. (American news, by the way -- not the BBC). We literally could not believe our ears. Then again, as Danny said..."It's TEXAS..."
