Re: I am a little offended.

I know many black people with normal names that white people DO use.
Emphasis mine, of course. I fully admit I'm nitpicking here, but isn't it also offensive to say that so-called black names aren't "normal"? That only the white ones are? The names black people use are plenty normal to them.

They're normal to me, too. Especially if names like Ayden, Emmaleigh, and Alyvia are supposed to be "normal" =P

Oh, there is. I work in a high school, and I come across plenty of names that would fit a stereotype for any race. And when you get down to it, they're all "normal."
