[Opinions] Re: This is what Rachel Shaina is saying.
I was just curious why it's so associated with black people. I was wondering if someone knew why that's so. If you assume that I didn't like the name because of that, you're really jumping to untrue conclusions.

I'm pointing out the need to continually separate out black and white names.

I think there’s a big difference between mentioning that a name is used more often by African-Americans and writing off African-American names as trashy and horrible.

Like, to call people out for doing the latter you have to at least acknowledge the former, right?

I don't like the fact that their separate. I'd like to see Darius on white and black children. It's just I don't know why me and a lot of other people picture a black boy or man first when we hear the name if we don't see the person. It's really strange.
