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 …

It's this framing of "denying your name" that bothers the hell out of me too George Eliot never *denied* she was Mary Ann Evans, she copped to it pretty quickly, it was extremely publicly known for most of her writing career

She just preferred to be published under and quoted as the name she picked for herself when she became a writer That's her right You can call her a traitor to women over that if you want but the polite thing to do is respect her wishes
