I’m tired of this victim mentality South Asians have adopted. Complaining about “offensive” cartoon characters, white people mispronouncing our names, and God knows what else. We were raised better than that. We dominate everything we do and we need to start acting like it. So in 2022, we’re putting a stop to all that shit and taking our identity back.
I have a short (4 letters) very phonetic name, I get cold calls EVERYDAY from Asian sales people who cannot say my name. I have never in my life had a native speaker fail on my name. I'm unable to give any fucks about mispronunciation.
Oh they know it's not a one way street just like they know it mostly comes from a place without malice. They don't care, they represent it as such because they have something to gain from it.
Dominate everything except romanizing their names in a way that is phonetically obvious to english speakers apparently.

Gotta say, I liked a couple of the jokes here. Genuinely laughed. I am surprised considering the state of comedy.
