Well i agree it's an over reaction, just ike everything else on the internet. I'm just saying, that racism exists in China and asian countries against foreigners, and that shouldn't be just "laughed off". We should hold everyone to a higher standard, that's all i'm saying.

Firstly, Virginia's a Roman name, not American. Secondly, why should a Hong Kong coffee shop be able to spell a (it's not but lets go with it) American name?

It does, but mainly because of ignorant ****s like the woman in the article.

actually Virginia as a name in America is a British name, after the "virgin" Queen Elizabeth I. That is what the state Virginia is named after, and where the proper name Virginia originates from in America. In the same way the name "Georgia" became the name of a state and a proper name for women in honor of King George II.

Regardless of the origin of it's usage in America (which I'm fully aware of), it's a Roman not American name. The word centre, while used in English, is a French word for example.

(Also Georgia is the feminine form of the Greek name George, so also not American)

Sorry, but how does that mean it's less American?

If you go back far enuf were all ****ing africans, and speaking with ****ing clicks and yelps, so don't lecture me about the ****ing Romans.

England wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the ****ing Germans and French who colonized your tiny island to begin with.

You're really playing up to your national stereotype here Alex (and in your bullish, OTT patriotism, true to that stereotype, are completely missing the point), but if you insist on reinforcing it... .

It doesn't, it makes it not American at all. An American name is one which originates in America (just as an English name is one that originates in England and a French one is one that originates in France), neither of those do, one originates in Italy and one originates in Greece. America is a country where they are in use, but they're in use all over the world, it's not a German name because they are also in use there. You can find pretty much any popular name, from anywhere in the world, in any populous country with outside influence.

If you go back far enuf were all ****ing africans, and speaking with ****ing clicks and yelps, so don't lecture me about the ****ing Romans.

I'm not lecturing you on anything, I'm correcting your introverted ignorance.

England wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the ****ing Germans and French who colonized your tiny island to begin with.

I see your historical, geographical and geopolitical knowledge (not to mention your awareness of hilariously acute Irony ) are also stereotypically lacking .

Again with that hilarious irony, where (in this thread) am I wrong? (Or more pressingly, where are you right?)

From your decision to not even attempt a proper, non-childish response, I think we both know the answer to both.

[lostalex]

I can't tell if you are being ironic or not. (because i'm American)

My lack of reasonable argument against what? He didn't present any facts for me to disagree with. He just made blanket untrue statements.

That's like asking me to argue against someone saying "yo momma".
