Re: 'Cruel and unusual'
It's interesting about Shaniqua, to me Lakisha sounds much more obviously stereotypical. I had a Chinese student pick it as her English name, and if she had been planning to study abroad she would have fallen into the "I advise you to pick a different name" category."We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”
