MBHockey13 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Don't make me out to be some kind of xenophobe. These are middling celebrities. He takes pictures of the lake and stares at the ice before games in a moment of Zen. She's a so-so actress. If anyone in our respective families would have pulled this name out, for this reason, we'd all be rolling our eyes. They didn't produce some genetic gift to the world, she plopped out a crotch turd, another future terrible human like the rest of us. This quote has me thinking you aren't a very good person. Plus, you sound incredibly unhappy. I almost feel sorry for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 That took a harsher turn than I expected. I always forget that there are a list of 20 extremely white-sounding names that all couples must choose from. As somebody in an interracial relationship I find your complaints to be childish with a dash of intolerance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 why are you being an a##hole? Parts of Pennsylvania ain't exactly a melting pot. But for what it's worth, I believe him, interracial marriage and the subcontinent have never been his pet hatreds. My only issue with Bodhi is that it is a common Indian girls name.....but it should work here, sounds like the skier, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassValleyGreg Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Christ, what an Around the NHL thread. I'd say the only thing Igor is showing intolerance for in this hateful, defensive rant is with mindless, attention-needy celebs. Can't say I blame him in this talentless era of stardom, but Miller is definitely not in this class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody in an interracial relationship I find your complaints to be childish with a dash of intolerance. No intolerance. Well, some, but not the kind you're thinking of. The fact her 'rents came from India never entered my mind. I actually had to look that up. What I'm intolerant of is the idea that, of course Miller's kid's name would have to translate to enlightenment, because dad's such a ray of light. Or maybe it's novelty names, instead of the good, old fashioned, solid names we used to have. Too many kids act like they're a source of enlightenment as it is. We need modest Henrys and Charleses too. Or maybe it's what Greg suggested. Megan Fox just named her kid Bohdi. Or maybe I'm an idiot. What did you really expect? why are you being an a##hole? d4rk wants me to die in a plane crash, and I'm the ?

Eleven Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) GrassValleyGreg? The poster I was referring to? OK, this is actually pretty funny. Jesus, this season is making us all nuts! Oh ######! I think Drane's post from months ago has my radar up. Shall we sequentially delete? (I have deleted--your name is no longer there except for in your quote of my post.)

You're painting yourself more and more into a racist/intolerant type. This is the nuts. Sorry people don't make the same choices that all your clean white friends do.

GrassValleyGreg Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Love the devolution of this season. I'm gonna take Igor's side here. I'm sure there's a correlation between celebs and awful, embarrassing names. I'm no pop culture guy, but Blanket, North, Suri... All pretty obnoxious and a manifestation of a celeb's desire for attention. The unfortunate thing is they are pushing this narcissism on to their offspring, whether they want it or not.

Hoss Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Why does anybody feel the need to have an opinion on somebody else's kids' names? It's their business. It comes from her culture, not their desire to get attention. It is, whether you like it or not, subtly racist to dislike the name purely because it's different from the typical white American names...

Granted, Bodhi isn't in the same league as Audio Science, or Moxie Crimefighter, or even North West, but it is kinda different. (I don't really think so, I said earlier I'm a big Swayze fan and I have a dog named Bodhi). I don't think it's the race issue that you're making it out to be.

This isn't them trying to get clever for attention... It's a name based on the child's mother's heritage. Everybody that comes to this country should make sure they white-wash themselves and choose the whitest names possible? Yes, that is racist.
