From www.davidgleason.com:
I was born after the Second World War in Cleveland, Ohio as David Frackelton Gleason. My second given name, Eduardo, was bestowed upon my baptism. Now, only by searching church records could one contest or verify this assertion; considering that there seems to be no accessible evidence to the contrary, why do folks continue to question the validity of this name? Perhaps David could comment: was this moniker bestowed as 'Eduardo' or 'Edward' or 'Edouard' or some other version of the name? If indeed as he says it has always been Eduardo, then there appears to be little justification for use of pejoratives like 'faux hispanic'. I don't remember seeing any claims for hispanic ancestry in Mr. Gleason's web pages or in any posts in the N.G. either. ....Just would like to see an end to the incessant ad hominem crap in this N.G.

I should have check the archives of this N.G.; from a post by 'David Eduardo' in Feb. 2007: My mother selected the name, and the godparents "gave it" at the ceremony... as in "they gave the response" That's the way it is done. The priest asks the godparents, "and what name have you selected..." and the godparents respond. The person who decided on the name can be the parents, or the whole family, I suppose. In my case, it was my mother... who used a name she liked from when she lived in Europe whjich was, as required, also the name of a saint. So why does this name-calling persist? Are the participants invested in some Lemon-Mathau "Grumpy Old Men" style of rivalry? There are never any emoticons or cues to the intensity of remarks so one can only conclude that they are either done in animosity or in poorly-constructed mock indignation, left up to the reader to deduce.

Michael He used "Eduardo" to get a job with the now private, in-retreat Univision, since he is only a high-scool dropout with a lousy podunk GED. It is also going to make it harder for Univision to fire/layoff him. Because of this, he feels very insecure, hense the need to continually joist with us educated folk. Hell, my company wouldn't even consider him, as they require at least a high school diploma and US citizenship. |

Michael Michael I agree with you. I see no need to abuse Eduardo on a personal level. Now calling him an IBOC shill is fine because that is what he is. What's next, rude comments about his mother? |

Perhaps David could comment: was this moniker bestowed as 'Eduardo' or 'Edward' or 'Edouard' or some other version of the name? It came from the years my mother spent in Europe in the early 20's. If indeed as he says it has always been Eduardo, then there appears to be little justification for use of pejoratives like 'faux hispanic'. I don't remember seeing any claims for hispanic ancestry in Mr. Gleason's web pages or in any posts in the N.G. either. While the name is Spanish, a name does not make a person "Hispanic." The US definition of the term shows "Hispanic" to be a cultural identifier, not an ethnic or racial one (and this is supported by the fact that the "Hispanic Question" in the Census is separate from the race question.). Since I have lived in Latin America for more than 3/4 of my life, speak Spanish much more than English, including in the home and with my children, I fit the definition of "Hispanic" by virtue of culture. In simple terms, I have never watched Seinfeld but never missed El Derecho de Nacer. ...Just would like to see an end to the incessant ad hominem crap in this N.G. It's a normal reaction to my comments on HD Radio and the death of AM, and, consequentially, DX on the Medium wave band. |
