...because Asian-Americans typically use either an English name (I saw a BA for an Asian baby named Kashton), or a name from whichever Asian culture they came from (I saw a BA for an Asian baby named Moo [which may be Korean, Thai, or Malaysian]). It's not a trait of Asian-American culture to make up new names the way it is for African Americans (Asian Americans know which country they're from, which is not often the case with African Americans).

Do you think taking the "African-American" usage off the site will stop people from calling AA names "ghetto"? Because if someone thinks Tanisha (or whatever) is "ghetto", they're going to think that whether BtN has it labled as African American or not.
