The truth is that you cannot judge an ethnic group by name OR appearance.

Who would guess that my fair-skinned blue-eyed husband has a substantial amount of Native American blood?

As for names-- I noted that on Dancing with the Stars this year, we have a person from Cuba named William Levy. His partner Cheryl Burke also considers herself Hispanic-- I believe her mother is Mexican.

And yes, it is ridiculous to think that other ethnic groups besides "white" can't be racist. Of course they can. At one point in time another "race" meant no more than the people the next village over.
