My friends and family members call me, Annie. What many do not know is that my real name is En Xiu. While my name represents my ethnicity, I believe that it’s a burden when it comes to employment when the employer breezes through my resume and catches upon my hard-to-pronounce and distinctive Chinese name. It’s already tough with the rising unemployment rate but if something so trifling as a name can get in the way of having a career for myself then I need to do something about it.
Sometimes, it sucks being the minority.
I need a white person name.
