      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?

      By calling it an American surname you are generalising from your single case. If you want you could say it is an American's name.

      Jesus Christ for fuck's sake think about it for half a second American surnames *don't exist*, Native cultures didn't have any conception of a monolithic "America" before colonization, and the colonists and immigrants who created the USA all came from somewhere else

      I haven't bothered following this dispute to its origins, so maybe I've missed something along the way, but that is precisely why it seems absurd to me to claim that it is an American surname. You might as well say it is a 'democratic' or 'Christian' surname

      My point is I think of my so-called "mixed" name on my birth certificate ("Arthur Chu", the one you can see on my bio) as my "real name" and am fucking sick of being told it's somehow less authentic than if I went by an "unmixed" name like if I were white and named Arthur Charles

          This doesn't come up for me very often, but there are people who think I would somehow be a more "authentic" person if I were "Zhu Ruixuan", and my point is they can do what they want but if they have a problem with my name they can eat shit

          I have nothing against your original point, nor any assertion on what would be authentic for you. My comments are not in conflict with that, and note that I have acknowledged the Americanness as membership of an ideology-state vs an ethnostatehttps://twitter.com/Hubei_Peasant/status/1294682958260056064?s=20 …

          This is where some people wanting American identity to be exclusively almost an ideological/religious identity clashes with those who consider it to be a particular cultural one. But the way he phrased it implied American to the exclusion of Chinese, which doesn't signal that
