Help[Opinions] Re: Under-representation of African names
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
I agree with the points made in this response 100%. It articulates what I wanted to say better than I ever could.
I also agree that the OP was too aggressive, but I’m not sure we need to meet that aggression with quite so much of our own.
Hopefully this will end up opening the door for a calm, rational discussion on the representation of non-Euro-centric names on this site. It’s a very well-researched, well-maintained and trusted source and it would be the ideal place for an expanded database of African names if such a thing were feasible. I wouldn’t mind hearing from the powers that be about why it hasn’t happened so far.
