Re: Would you change your name ?
No I wouldn't choose a nickname. My name is pretty easy to pronounce, but there are a few folks who act slow and can not pronoiunce correct. I correct them, but if they continue, I mispronounce their name to give them the hint.
What pisses me off more....was what happens with 1 or 2 of these dufus goray who never interacted with a desi person I guess. In my department there was only me & 1 indian lady. Often times these 2 people call me the other ladies name. And vice versa, refer to her as me....as those are the only 2 desi names they know. At first i laughed it off, but corrected them. But after they do this repeatedly, i just started referring to them as someone else, and even went so far as saying oh sorry your the only other white guy i know!
