Why do they change their names when they move here? Are they that ashamed of their heritage?

roberts or jhonson is easier to pronounce than xi schuan or hong tong
We change them because wypipo can't pronounce our names so we make it simpler for them by changing it to something they can understand.
Maybe
but then why am i told to keep my name when i travel to asia? it's impossible for them to say my name
We change them since Chinese is one of the few languages that rely heavily on pitch (eg; Teacher and Old Fashioned an naiive all spund the same in latin alphabet (lao shi). It’s just the tones and writing are different).
Therefore we know non chinks will fuck it up so we adopt white names
wypipo can't pronounce african/arab/muslim/indian/slav names either, but they don't change their names.
It's only something that Chinese and Korean (and maybe Vietnamese?) do because names in Chinese culture are a big thing and given that foreigners are going to mispronunced them anyway they rather just changed it
They want to be Americans
also, most people in the Philippines and Australia and a few in Singapore have actual anglo names as first names.
foreigners are actually encouraged to adopt a Chinese name while in China (I don't know if that also applies to Korea and Vietnam though?)
Lu Wang sounds more american than Marcus Wang t,b.h.
*blocks your path*
Flips have Spanish names
they have Spanish last names, barely anybody has Spanish first names
They don't just mispronounce it, they abuse it. So it's something less for them to make fun of.
>Angel
>Princess
Why are Flips such subhumans
I think only Maria/María is kind of common but still not really that popular
never change and our names are usually easy to pronounce even for burgers
but other EA/SEAsian people may be Catholic and have Christian names
Probably this.
Only chinks and gooks do it
when i taught english in korea everyone told me to just use my english name
No we dont. Only chinks does this, names like Angeline Tan, Alvin Tan, Michael Wang etc.
can you spell Trần Hưng Đạo without butchering it? there's your answer
A heads up as well, consider something like
>they went to Canada, they'll said they came from Singapore despite theyre malaysian
>they went to Australia, and they will said they came from either singapore or north america
And so on.
For some reason Japanese names are really easy to remember and pronounce? I think its cause they use a lot of vowels.
Why though
that nigga barely understands Japanese
this
they need to change it to something that's easy to pronounce, it's a bit annoying if they need to correct people all the time when they can just use John or Tom
:(
user, i wish this would go away but it won't. names have become so fucking retarded here.
What's with the stupid Anglo names? I thought you all had nice Spanish names.
its like "english name"
they wanna show you that they are friendly to westerners
even those mainland chinks and gooks do it in business
some even have "japanese name" like anime or prostitute-ish
or just their parents are cucks
why do Asians adopt weird English names like Trevor, Andrew and Charles?
We’re more Americanized
Tfw chinese with greek name
If I ever get Russian citizenship I'm changing my name on my Russian passport. It's just an enormous pain in the ass sometimes. Different alphabet and whatnot. I have two different spellings on two different visas, and my bank spelled my name differently too. And then there's the whole patronymic thing.
Because they're very easy and everyone knows how to spell and pronounce them, is my guess. Meanwhile, Vietnamese that don't Anglicize their surnames are just infuriating. Nguyen or whatever.
Arabs only use a handful of names and all of them are pretty easy. Half of them are named Mohammed or Ahmed and then there’s Soufyiane. Arab females are either Fatima, Yasmine or Sabrina.
Sorry pal but Rome was the literal inspiration for our country, at least in the Founding Fathers' minds
>300 years of Spanish rule
>30 years of American rule
Does this make Americans 10x as efficient?
>Ni-Kou Changopolous
Not bad, not bad at all
You actually brought civilization to them after Spanish wrecked it, so yeah.
My name is a variant of Andrianòs actually so not that bad.
I've known a Muhammed Huang once he was unironically british lol
they hate their countries so they moved to america and change their names, that's it.
bump

What an awful meme. We use wh*Te/wh*Toid here.
