Yeah, I didn't realize that "Nguyen" was "Wynn" for years. I went to school with a lot of Asians (and my step-mom is Vietnamese), so I thought this was f-ing ridiculous. (Not implying that others not in my area would think that lady was sane.) Who asks an entire culture to change their names? That's like when 19th C immigrants felt they had to change their names to assimilate...except in this case, an official asked them to do it. So backwards!!!
ETA: Kudos to the guy speaking for being so eloquent and stating his case clearly without going "WTF are you serious?!" Cause yeah, that's what I would have done.
