[MR] Asian Personas

[Steven Chang]

Neither I nor foxy mentioned anything that was remotely Racist. I
personally started my Scottish persona, because one of the people in
the SCA that originally recruited me into the SCA had a Japanese
persona. He was scottish with red hair.

He went by a long Japanese name but his nick name when you shortened
it, happened to be my real life name shortened. So everytime someone
called him I would turn around looking.

Finally I just decided well if there could be Scottish Japanese
personas then there could be Chinese Scottish personas.

Thats how I ended up with a Scottish Persona.
