everything is dumber, apparently, in texas

Dear Texas, 

You should probably remove State Representative Betty Brown (R ... shocker) from your roster of residents. I'm just thinking of your best interest here ....

Tuesday, State Rep. Betty Brown (R), during House testimony on voter identification legislation said that Asian-Americans should change their names because they’re too hard to pronounce:

“Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?” Brown said.

Brown later told [Organization of Chinese Americans representative Ramey] Ko: “Can’t you see that this is something that would make it a lot easier for you and the people who are poll workers if you could adopt a name just for identification purposes that’s easier for Americans to deal with?”

Wherever you decide to deport her to, just please exclude Chicago, Columbia or D.C. as your list of options as I don't enjoy spending time with people this incredibly stupid. 

Love,
Sammi
