More on black women: Chinese name-painting.

On Friday after a concert I was walking with some friends downtown and we were passing a bunch of teenage black girls standing around a Chinese woman street vendor who was making one of those signs where your name is painted with dragons and lotuses and other vaguely-Chinese-looking shit, and all I could see on the sign was her writing "Shamaini...", and there was space for about another four or five letters in the one black girl's name.
