I just didn't know how to word it.
I didn't mean it in a racist type way at all. I feel pretty bad now =\ but i didn't mean it in an offensive way.
I just thought people might see some of the names and maybe bash it as being 'made up' or trendy when it's a legitimate name, that's all.

i'm sorry for making you feel bad! i just wanted to point out how people might perceive what you said! i'm sure you love all the kids you work with, 'ethnic' or not.
