Do you think I'm actually trying to hide my ethnicity in any meaningful way If I didn't want people to know my parents were immigrants I'd probably have changed my first name to something other than "Arthur"https://twitter.com/taro_taylor/status/1294596982862827520 …

How could you, bro? That's the whole point of my post. You couldn't change who and what you are by the simple fact of insisting on a western name. You are the same Asian bloke regardless what your name is.

Yeah, exactly Nothing I said has anything to do with wanting to be perceived as white or Western

This whole thing came up because of people trying to republish old books written by women writers under male pen names under their legal names as though they're freeing those dead women from some kind of legacy of shame My point is that's a stupid and presumptuous thing to do

Did someone send up the dumb-ass signal on you or something? This thread's been out there for a while and now you're getting all these *very confused* responses that all start with "Bro!"
