After reading this letter in The Age I started to think that maybe this person has a point:
'WHEN an abandoned Caucasian child or infant is found it is never called "Baby-gro" or "Bonds", it is given an authentic child's name. However, when a little Chinese girl is found, the best name that can be thought of is "Pumpkin". What lies behind that decision? Even when her real name is recovered, the name "pumpkin", or "the toddler", continues to be used in the media. Why is that? '
Yeah right! It's a sign that some cop suffered from a lack of imagination not racism. And her real name is being used (albeit within the fine print) but let's face it, when a cute little girl who's been abandoned by her father in another country is called Pumpkin once, she's never gonna shake it.
Cute little Pumpkin.
What the hell is wrong with your father!?
