Possible evil white male alert.
Turning America into Mexico without any objection from the American people.
That way, we can be more like Yugoslavia, a nation that was made up of many squabbling nationalities. And Yugoslavia was a great success! Oh, wait, it wasn't. Yugoslavia broke up. Some violence was involved. Never mind.
Lose the hyphen; assimilate.
This is ESPN. A no go zone.
Small price to pay to be an American.
As far as I'm concerned, Adrián González can get the hell back to wherever he came from.
They Changed Our Name at Ellis Island
By Donna Przecha
Types of Changes. In the United States around 1900, there were no rules about names so immigrants could alter their names, first or last, any way they wanted. For example, one of the easiest changes was to simplify the pronunciation and spelling. So, the German "Nüchter" could get rid of the un-American umlaut and change the sound to one more familiar to English speaking people, ending up with "Nichter."
I used to like Adrian Gonzalez...until he became a Dodger.
Funny my ancestors changed the spellings of their names to be more easily pronounceable for English speaking AMERICANS.

My Celtic surname (”McXxxxxx”) is consistently mangled by computers that do not understand the capitalization of the 3rd character and render it Mcxxxxx or use all caps (MCXXXXX), which is equally inappropriate. Other Celtic conventions are ignored, as well. Such as Oleary for O’Leary. I haven’t heard a big outcry from the Scottish and Irish communities.
