is he a Chinese-American?

Please, does it matter what his ethnic background is? Do we ask if David Letterman is Jewish?

Um, to be blunt, this is an encyclopedia. Your moralizing on hyphenated America is off topic. GP had a perfectly respectable question about where Kuo is from. People sometimes like to know such things. Such is life ;) --Gargletheape 05:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
If he worked for the CIA, I'm fairly sure he's a US Citizen. JJ4sad6 15:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes. I should have clarified that "where X is from" referred to some sort of ethnicity question, not the question of citizenship, the same sort of way that Conan O'Brien is Irish American. In any case, the article has taken care of it...Kuo is categorized as Asian, Chinese Christian etc --Gargletheape 20:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] and the other David Kuo?

What about the other David Kuo (BBC Radio London financial advice broadcaster) 17:09, 20 November 2006 212.159.47.14

The anon poster brings up the point that there are two David Kuo's of some note. The person noted at article top is the American political figure lately involved in more problems at the White House. The second person is based in Great Britain and referenced by the text beginning:
David Kuo is also the Head of Personal Finance at personal Finance site The Motley Fool. Fool.co.uk.
While both may be a Chinese heritage, they are obviously different, one being much handsomer than the other. :-) Oh, and the second was writing for the Motley Fool in 2000 while the second's writing was for the Whitehouse.
Do we get into a problem of notability for the second, financial guy? Should we set up two articles with a dab page? And are there concerns over what looks like a cut-n-paste for the information on the second? Shenme 20:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First name?

I have a copy of dot.bomb in which he's credited as "J. David Kuo." He doesn't use this first initial any more, but I think it's encyclopedic to know his first name. Does his first name actually start with J., or is this just a pen name? Given his religious background, I'm curious as to whether he adopted the name "J. David Kuo" to put Jesus first.

I sent Kuo an e-mail inquiry about his first name the same day I made the above edit, but I have yet to receive a response. White 720 01:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
