The way that you used ethnocentric against me makes me wonder if you even know what it means. Basically, it means that I allegedly see superiority in my own background, whereas others are supposedly seen as lower-class. I cannot begin to express how untrue that is, and how equally insulting.
I merely see complete, utter, extremely ethnic opposites of no connection slightly tacky in appearance. Boleslava Nelson, Vladimir Taylor, Stylianos Cavey, and Mufaddal Lopez are not attractive, in my opinion.
It is another story if you immigrated (permanently live) in another country. I know families from China, the Philippines, Mexico, Russia, Italy, and Germany who all have adopted new callings and/or began to give their children names that reflected the United States. My father's name is English, my Grandfather's name is English, and so on-- but for that particular instance, a large reason was because of discrimination and harsh stereotypes many years ago.
