Get fucked, boy. This hits close to home.
I have an Arabic name and I distinctly remember in 7th grade we had this substitute teacher, a full on MAGA type, mispronounce and butcher my name, I said "here" regardless and someone else thankfully corrected him. He got pissed and complained and asked why I couldn't have a "good American name like John or Jim", I kid you not. Fucking racist trash. This was also near 9/11 so I faced all kinds of discrimination around those days, even in California.
