How about the white actors, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Christopher Mintz-Plasse?

Black people are more notorious than any race… For example, in the NFL there is Jones-Drew, Green-Ellis, Rodgers-Cromartie, Pierre-Paul, Sims-Walker, those are just off the top of my head… Name a white person with two last names…? Cause I’m not aware of him/her…

Actually, there is no problem if a person with 2 last names marries another person with 2 last names, the kids just get the first last name of each parent. That’s how we do it in spanish speaking cultures.

I feel sorry for the kids that have parents who each have two last names of their own-this actually happened to a friend of mine who forced herself to choose one of her four last names and be done with it. This video I found says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKkZGKN4VCU

“I’m white, my ancestor heritage is German however my ancestors moved here centuries ago so I’m completely true American” Do you understand that you sound very ignorant since you are implying that all the rest are completely or truly American. To be an American means to stand for individual rights, that is the right to own your own life; this means to hold the government as protector and servant of life, liberty, and property and not the giver or master of life, liberty, and property. Get educated or stay in your cave and don’t leave Ohio where you don’t have to think of the bigger picture. I know you are only 21 so you get a pass, but i’m 24 so you better step your game up son or get left behind.

I have an EXTREMELY long name because, in addition to my real first name being 9 letters long, I also have two long last names. I am white. BUT the reason why my last name is hyphenated is because my parents weren’t married when they had me and my mom wasn’t sure if they ever were going to get married. She chose to hyphenate my last name so that I could take her last name if they never got married or I could take my father’s last name if they did. I go by my father’s last name because they did end up getting married, but they also divorced a year later. But other than myself, I don’t personally know any other white people with hyphenated last names. In fact, I had an incident happen where my full, legal name was given to a high-school-summer-abroad group. None of us knew each other, so we had no idea what to expect. Once I arrived, the group looked at me awkwardly and treated me funny for a few hours. I asked another girl why they were acting weird and she just said “Well… actually… everyone thought that you were black because your name is so long.” It doesn’t seem to me as though the two-last-names thing is a white person thing. :/

I have two LEGAL last names, but I revert to one in everyday life. It’s just the recognition that I have a name from each of my parents.

Pele, like the brazillian footballer? Whose nickname is portuguese? Americans can be white, black, whatever, but they ussually say something inexact when they mention anything forgein.
