“You could argue that Dr. Dre and Snoop were the most important pop musicians since Bob Dylan and the Beatles,” Frere-Jones once wrote. You could argue that—if Bob Dylan had been a pop musician to begin with, or if Dr. Dre had released more than a single groundbreaking album during his entire career.

tbh I always default to thinking of Sasha as a guy's name, and I always pictured SFJ as a kind of Safran-Foer dude, which as it turns out was kind of in the right ballpark... black woman!? wtf. That has to have been a trolly article having a dig at his writing, right?
― Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Thursday, 25 October 2012 08:42 (eleven years ago) link
Many Americans first exposure to the name Sasha was through Supermodel of the World, which may be where all the confusion stems from.
― how's life, Thursday, 25 October 2012 12:13 (eleven years ago) link
Granted, most Americans don't read Russian literature and therefore don't know it's a unisex diminutive for Alexander/Alexandra (or Natasha, if your name is Sasha Obama).
― ella fingerblast hurls forever (suzy), Thursday, 25 October 2012 12:17 (eleven years ago) link
When I was growing up I only knew two Sashas: one was a boy at my school and the other was my friend's cat. My default is to think cat before male or female.
― Sug ban (Nicole), Thursday, 25 October 2012 12:28 (eleven years ago) link
I would probably be more forgiving towards SFJ's writing if he was a cat, that would be adorable.

that's true, although i think in russian it's more commonly a boy's name? i think it's a great name for a dude.

Male and female Sashas in my college class; guys' names pronounced Sash-a (as in window), women's names pronounced Saaaah-sha.

Michelle wouldn't be a problem in a french speaking province.It's Mo'Nique. They insist on the apostrophe and use the accent. I was fine with it until I realised it wasn't a particular hommage to Mo'Nique.

Great racist car names corner: in the distant 1980s, a relative's brown Mercedes-Benz 240D, which did 0-60 in about 18 seconds and was named Steppin Fetchit. Took me about a decade to figure out that that was extremely uncool.

Here is some Stepin Fetchit. His work has to be seen to be believed; I also think it's worth knowing that this was mainstream Hollywood once up a time, and he became a very rich man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10OFvL75Ww0
