Funny stuff from Kurtlow: “It’s approaching crisis levels, and our dignity as an ethnic group is at stake. I am talking about this disturbing trend of us Chinese Asians giving ourselves English names that sound like bowel movements, names like Solon So, Affrick Fung and Oxide Pang, that are slowly, but surely, eating away at the very fabric that holds our society together, which we all agree is chicken rice”.

-Oh the wonders of language in translation…
