      "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?

      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

      Yeah, my name "Chu" is an American surname because I'm an American For someone else who's not an American, it isn't Why is that such a big deal I mean you know thanks to sloppy romanization "Chu" could be derived from dozens of Chinese surnames

      Look even trying to seriously entertain the idea of classifying names by ethnicity is filled with ambiguity There's plenty of names that we stereotype as "Jewish names" in the US that obviously aren't actually specifically "Jewish", just German or Polish or Russian

      What's the name "David", is it a Hebrew name or an English name or an American name Is 孫中山's name a Japanese name (it comes from the kanji rendering of his pseudonym while in hiding in Japan, Nakamura)

          I mean relevant to my situation I always felt self-conscious about having a weird name growing up because I thought of it as "British" and then when I got to college my Jewish roommate said "You're the first Arthur I've met who wasn't someone's Jewish uncle"

          My partner once told me that about Irving, that it was an 'American' name but so many Jewish people used it to assimilate that it became a 'Jewish American' name. I'm not sure what his source for that tidbit was, though.

          I thought it was well known that Chinese immigrants often adopt first names for themselves and their children that are common to the country they move to while preserving their Chinese family name but here we fucking are.

          It's very common knowledge but it creates friction with a fairly large number of annoyingly ignorant white people who care a lot about "real names" and a smaller but more focused group of Asian people who find Asian-Americans politically problematic
