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

Then, what's this whole thread about you insisting on having a Western name and denying your Chinese one? Of course this is your choice, but I am just curious. I seem to glean somewhere in that thread you do like your Chinese middle name, no?

Because this name ACTUALLY IS MY NAME, it's the one I ACTUALLY USE and always have

"Arthur" is a Chinese name because I'm Chinese and it's my name (And I don't like my middle name in the sense of actively using it, I just don't particularly try to hide it either, it's in my email address)

How is Arthur a Chinese name? I can call myself Ronaldo but it doesn't mean Ronaldo is a Chinese name now, does it?

Like I said, it's a Chinese name because I'm Chinese and it's my name Just like "Chu" is an American surname because I am an American and it is my surname

But My friend also has a surname "Chu" but he is from China, do you get to monopolise a surname as well just b'cos you are American?

Of course not, I never claimed any monopoly ownership of anything but MY OWN NAME

You just did by calling a common surname "Chu" as American. "Chu" is not yours, hundreds of millions of other "Chu"s around, no?

I made no statement about anyone else who has "Chu" as their last name (which could be derived from many different Chinese surnames) Only about myself
