White folks please keep her. 20-25 years into her career now u wanna come back, please keep her.
It wasn’t a mistake 🙄
What does the name mean?
Thandie is half Zimbabwe and half British al she did was leave off the "WE" off of her name because everyone seemed to have a problem pronouncing her full name.
Her name is still African, blacks in America have European names and that's not the names from their place of origin.
We have greater things to focus on these days guys come on, let it go.
She should have corrected it right away. Your name is important. It has meaning..
In the entertainment world it is common to have to change your name, especially if ur black unfortunately.
It was not a mistake.
Good for her taking her power back✊🏾
I've cfc always liked her movies. Lovely woman.
Shes awesome as Maeve in West world!
Actresses in Hollywood always change their names. In Thandi We’s case it was to fight discrimination. Martin Sheen’s actual name is Ramone Estevez He changed his for the same reason. Thandi We did the right thing for herself and that’s always good, she’s a survivor! Sad though the west is so obsessed with whiteness or European culture.
She's black? She's mixed.
Thandiwe is name from Amanguni clan,happy for her,others still enslaved with colonial names forever.
She was ashamed and afraid, love your self and don't wait for someone who's in a dominant position to tell you its ok to reclaim your name.
Irrelevant
Was she posing as a Black American, she had me fooled?
Better late than never!
All this time I thought she was Asian or part Asian. Hmmm….
It's important to be who you are as a push back to how others want you to be !" Glad she's strong enough to realize that !"
Wongel my name is white as he'll Jeffrey Williams
In other words – She was ashamed of using it in Hollywood and around white people….. We don't get to change our names for job interviews – How convenient of her. Zimbabwe could have really used her support over the past ten years….
That's great for thandie.
There's absolutely nothing black about this sellout at all.
Thandiwe is a Zulu name it is not Zimbabwean. My daughter’s name is Thandiwe.I’m so happy Thandiwe Newton is embracing her name .Her name means, “Beloved”
I am a Black American. My name is Greek. I have been called Deloris, Deborah, Denise, Donna……not even close to my name. I just would answer and move on. I did not feel slighted.
I dont like my name, people think that I an a guy with my given name. On my résumé my name is Dee.
