While I'm here: for those of you over on the other side: one of the mistakes that many of these "urban myths" type of posts make is forgetting that the United States has a very, very, very republican form of government with a strong emphasis on "States rights". (republican as in form of government, not political party). So, almost anything that says that the FEDERAL Government is restricting some behaviour that is the domain of the states should be taken with a grain of salt. Heck, there is a major debate going on over the right of the federal government to order a national drivers license. (in America, there are 51 states & Washington D.C) that have their own requirements to secure a driving license. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) would have had a field day over this type of legislation. The United States, if anything, is a very, very Libertarian society. Individual rights. This is one if the few countries where the swakista can be paraded down the street.
Besides, regarding names, they do name white kids "Peter". My goodness....Peter!
