So it won’t be cultural appropriation if professors pronounce other culture’s names correctly?

So is it a microagression when Japanese people cant pronounce western names?
To: lacrew
My last name is relatively easy to spell but is almost always misspelled, mispronounced, etc.
I never liked it anyway.

When Napoleon conquered Europe and instituted Napoleonic law, one of the changes was that everyone had to register a new last name at the local center of government instead of the church. No more son of etc.
Many picked funny names in protest because they didn’t think napoleon would be around very long. Some of the dutch names are funny with meaning like outhouse, or shit house, stuck in pants, etc.
Luckily my ancestors picked bird song. But the funny thing is someone in the next county could pick the same name. So we have different tribes with the same name, not related at all.

Are these youngins that unresilient? Seriously, in the real world those of us in the realm of business etc have had to meet folks from all cultures. So we take a stab at their name with the best of our linguistics abilities and ask am I pronouncing you name correct? It then sometimes evolves into what the name means, their cultural background and it helps build a business relationship, if you don't go into it with the pretext that you will be offended...

I sold a house to a lady named Latrina. I saw a girls name in Mississippi named Onada. I hoped she never goes to Japan, it means “fart.”

So what? Get used to it.
I'm 67 years old and I've had my last name mispronounced, constantly by every teacher beginning in grade school all through college earning a batxherlors degree and then a Masters Degree, The same for a major part of my time in the U.S Army, as well as during my civilian employment.

Words mean something. Life and death are in the tongue.
No wonder this generation is so messed up!
To: COUNTrecount; NYer
Man oh man, have I been micro-aggression-ed all of my life because 95% of the folks I’ve met have mispronounced my Germanic last name.
This is a case of another person looking for a reason to get mad at others.

Usually I try to help them out but sometimes I take a perverse delight in watching them struggle for a few moments.
But to honor your pain, I will clutch my pearls for you....
