Lauren McCarthy
Hello. Regarding Lauren McCarthy, I need to explain something about how Wikipedia works. We are not blazing any trails here. We are never the person to break the news on something, as we just report what has been widely said. We also try to respect the wishes of individuals to some degree on how they describe themselves. The "Chinese American woman" item you keep trying to add is only mentioned once anywhere on the web, as far as I can see. For the entirely of her career, and in her bio on that page, she has not taken the opportunity to describe herself as a Chinese-American. Accordingly, we don;t describe her as Chinese American, since none of the published sources do. I hope that helps. 02:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * PS:It's a pretty tricky case because her age, birthdate and birthplace are not published anywhere. However, I did a deeper search and tracked down two sources where she is called Chinese-American, and in one source she is the one saying it. So that established it and I have added it to the article. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 03:09, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
