Methinks you need to look up Xenophobia in the dictionary friend! The posters statement "A Finn named Hussein?" has nothing to do with Xenophobia! He/She is merely expressing surprise that a Finn would have a Middle Eastern surname, nothing Xenophobic about that at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trexpat Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 1 hour ago, Destiny1990 said: Pick a German name. Hmmmmmm. Same point, does the origin of the name define me? I new an guy born in the Former East Germany whos mother named him Pierre. She named him that because she dreamed one day of being able to travel to France. Does not make him or her French does not make him an immigrant or somebody to be looked down upon or cast aside. Somebody already said it here today that this is what we call globalization. So a german name would be fine yes. Perhaps a couple of kids - Bratwurst and Pommes.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
