All the news & story's about Racism is pathetic theses days, its never out of the news, and the more its brought to our attention, the more it spreads.
So as far as I am concerned, I dont give two hoots, as long as my lovely Town, is not overrun with Immigrants!

//Why on earth would 16 year olds have a better grip on Asian names than most adults//
Because they have more contact with them at school Etc.
The museum is perfectly correct. Many Asian names are ridiculously convoluted. The capital of the southern Indian state of Kerala is Thiruvananthapuram. Almost everybody, including most of the Keralans refer to it as Trivandrum. Perfectly sensible abbreviation of a ridiculously long name. Nothing racist about it at all.
