the weirdest thing about this controversy is that i don't think that chinese names are hard to pronounce. i mean, chinese immigrants generally don't expect anyone here to get the tone right (i.e. the only potentially hard part). once the tone goes out the window, you usually end up with fairly simple, generally monosyllabic, name.
i mean, representative brown brought this up when she was talking to a guy named "mr. ko." mr. ko! how hard is that?
