Mispronouncing an individual’s name intentionally and repetitively signals the person is not worthy of one of life’s most basic courtesies. And for people of foreign or non-white cultures, it can indicate they are un-American, different, difficult—they don’t even have normal names, for God’s sake—and they should probably go back to the shithole countries from whence they came where everyone can revel in their odd and ungainly appellations.
