        @mplscorwin why would an alien have a Chinese name? Shouldn't it be something like Snarg the Destroyer of Worlds?

        I'll bet it's a guy who would never allow his wife to use her maiden name. BTW, Studs Terkel is an American icon, my journo hero.

        @laloalcaraz Full blown Trumpian paranoia. Do you have to be born here before 1776 to be sufficiently white? I just don't get it.

        Where to even start to deconstruct such stupidity? Especially when it likely came from a guy whose ancestors came thru Ellis Island
