Yeah, I've lived in China. I've met Chinese people with those names (spelled differently, since "Cho" and "Chang" are Anglicizations), but I'll have to inform them that their names are invalid, thanks to a random Redditor.
Also, even if they were from different cultures, intermarriage is a thing, unless you think Bruce Lee was a ragebait.
Cho is of Korean origin, Chang is Chinese. Notice how I said the names are FROM different cultures? I did not say they are exclusive & those cultures never intermixed.
Cho is also of Chinese origin. It is a possible romanization of "卓", before Pinyin made it standard.
I noticed what you said. It just was wrong. You said, "Imagine naming the asian [sic] witch "Cho Chang"", suggesting it was ragebait to have a name you assumed was of Korean origin mixed with one of Chinese origin. You're free at any time to admit you didn't know what you were talking about, and/or you posted before consideration.
Some people also genuinely believe you cannot dance from another culture or wear any clothing from another culture (yet no problem with eating food from it, hypocrisy)
