i don't really hate her, in fact i like her but there is something she said in her site that bothers me....there is this line that she is afraid to be asian. I mean what's wrong on being asian? check out the last few lines in her first paragraph...just wondering.....

Q: Dear Danica,
I've heard that you are part Asian, either Korean or Japanese, or both. Is that true? I've always wondered what your ethnic background is. What about your name? Where does it come from? Thanks!


Danica Answers: Hi! You're not the firsts one to ask me this: I've been asked if I were Asian, Hawaiian, Greek, etc. The truth is, I'm a big mix of Western Europe. I'm mostly Portuguese (this is my mom's side), via the Azores and Madeira Islands. These are both groups of islands in the Atlantic ocean settled by the Portuguese in 1418. This means that my mom's side is probably a fair mix of Portuguese and native Islander! On my dad's side, I'm part Scottish (hence "McKellar"), and a little each of: German, Spanish, French, and Dutch. No Asian, I'm afraid. Although you should see baby pictures, I really do look Asian!
The name "Danica" (pronounced with the same inflection as "Monica" or "Erica") comes from a book called "Name Your Baby" that my parents bought before I was born. The name seems to be natively found in Denmark and also in most Slavic countires (although in Slavic nations, it's pronounced "Don'-eetz-sa") and it means, "Morning Star." That's why I named my production company "Morning Starlight Productions, " since I guess a morning star would "produce" morning starlight. :)
