Having a non-White Name

Monoculture or common language?

If I was dropped off in rural China or downtown Hanoi I wouldn't expect many locals to pronounce my name correctly right off the bat. And that's OK.

The issue isn't not getting right off the bat, like you said that's OK. People with difficult to pronounce names know that their names are difficult

The problem is when people refuse to pronounce it correctly, intentionally mispronounce it or just decide, 'I'll call you "Dan"'
