Betty Brown is an idiot

Republican State Rep. Betty Brown is in the process of apologizing for saying Asian Americans should adopt 'Americanized' names for the convenience of poll workers..

[Austin attorney Ramey] Ko says Brown told him she meant no offense by her questions on Tuesday. According to Ko, Brown said she was just trying to be helpful and come up with a solution to the problems with the Voter ID bill, and she meant nothing derogatory about Ko or "his race."

I believe she didn't mean to offend. The scary part is she has no inkling about what she did and why it was offensive. Americans, as Brown sees them, are the norm. All others, like Asian Americans, must conform to her perceptions of what an American is.
