Wow . Thats racist of you. Just because someone isn't white you assume they are not American. The fact that someone responded "Thank God for Justin!" and you did not clarify signifies that this in fact was your intended meaning. How shallow.
Maybe you haven't noticed that most Asian Americans have Euro-first names, just as "John" instead of Hans was adopted within a generation or two for Germans, and even Mexican mothers might choose Bridget for their baby girls. It's not racist to notice. I am retired faculty and assisted many international students. It is definitely insulting for you to suggest that recognizing their country of origin, in which they have great pride, is racist on our part.
Preferring truth to custom, the better to the good, adapt to adopt, reform to revolution, solutions to goals, knowledge to awareness, faith to spirituality. The rules.
