      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

      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

      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 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

      Do you find this exists with accents too? Like, the difference in accent between people who grew up with English as a first language and those who didn't is huge, right? (That's not just me being racist?)

      It takes time to gain enough fluency to "lose your accent" in a secondary language, yes, and some people never do (and some people don't see it as a desirable goal)

      I remember they talked about how they decided the main characters in Black Panther would all "have an accent", ie they wanted to establish that "Wakandan English" is its own dialect that they speak (based vaguely on East African English as spoken in Kenya etc)

          To show that even when speaking a foreign language Wakandans don't see full assimilation into standard American or British English as a desirable goal

          I find the accent thing super interesting in general. I think it was John Harlan Kim from the Librarians TV show I saw talking about how much his accent just utterly flipped people out when he would go for roles. That dude sounds Oz as fuck and just...no-one was ever prepared
