"That's my name. It's always been my name. I'm taking back what's mine," Newton told British Vogue.
The actress, whose full name is Melanie Thandiwe Newton, said her name was misspelled in the credits to her first film in 1991, Flirting, which co-starred Nicole Kidman and Noah Taylor.

Wait, but her real name is Melanie.

in my life of 31 years, no one has ever included real when asking what is someone's name.

Asking someone's real name is almost always a bigoted attack to be frank.

A lot of times it's asked to deadname trans people.

Other times it's from a racial perspective, because they just have to know if a Middle Eastern man called Moe is actually named Mohammed, or a Asian woman called Tina is actually called Tianhua or something. Even if it's not done maliciously, it's just another thing on a long list of micro aggressions that makes life a little more difficult, and a constant reminder that you aren't actually American.

Of course, in contrast, if a white man introduces themselves as Tom, does anyone ever care if his "real name" Thomas, Tomas, Tomaz, or Tomasz?

Okay that's too many serious words, in summary:

No one could have ever lied to you though, and certainly not the anti-communist U.S. propaganda machine. We know that for sure because the anti-communist U.S. propaganda machine told us so.

there are a ton of actors who changed their names when they started because they or a studio/agent thought their real name wouldnt be popular with people

Do you think China denies their state capitalism?

Do you think capitalism is not a prerequisite for socialism?

The communist party has been in charge for only ~70 years. Prior to the revolution, China was a largely feudalist society, completely underdeveloped compared to most of the west.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristics

What China has now is a dictatorship of the proletariat and a plan to achieve communism.

Then why did you take issue with me calling it state capitalism?

Did I? When? It is indeed reductive to simply call it state capitalism imo.

Asking someone's real name is almost always a bigoted attack to be frank.

Ive never seen someone ask for that reason. Its always because the name told is a known shortened version of a longer name or some alternative that isnt common and/or sounds weird to the person. Also, certain social situations where people ask for legal name.

My mother in-laws real given name is Nikki, but people always think its short for Nicole, so she often gets, Is that your real name or Is that short for Nicole? There is no ill-intent there.

Then you have nicknames that to most people would sound like nicknames, but someone may have been named something unusual by their parents. Dont know why thatd be bigoted, just cuz someone chose to name their kid Princess or Vader, etc.

When did I lie about the form of government? A dictatorship of the proletariat is the best way to describe it, and thats how I described it.

Alright man, have fun never responding with anything of substance and succumbing wholeheartedly to right-wing media by harboring extreme hatred for revolutionary movements that have actually accomplished improvements in human well-being.

Actually, dont have fun doing that. Its bad to have fun doing those things.
