I should have mentioned this originally, but Chaldeans are indeed self-loathing. I'd say, on the whole, more than most groups.

Why is it that every American born child I know of, say, Indian descent, for example, has an Indian name? Sanjiv, Rajiv, Anup, etc.

And why is it that every Chaldean born child I know of (myself included) has a slave name? Jeffrey, Ryan, Kelly, etc. Why is it that the announcements in the Chaldean news of new babies born are all named Anglo names? Honestly I might have seen 1 out of 20 with a remotely Chaldean middle name. What is it about our identity that is embarassing to the point of discarding it?

Farid may have a point when he said that we are rotten at the core...

Just some thoughts...

Regarding what you said, Jealousy is huge in our community. I'd say perhaps worse than other communities (we really take things like self-loating and jealousy to extremes, don't we?) Don't you think?
