[quote=Anonymous]I have a long, unusual last name. I am so tired of having to have conversations about it when I meet people. "Oh, where is it from, how do you say it?" "Are you from there?" No my father was. "Do you speak X language" No, he died when I was young. Etc. etc. I am white. I get this is much worse if you aren't. But today I was on the phone with a "really nice" customer service lady who was just taking information before I spoke to the doctor and she INSISTED on knowing how to pronounce my name as a sign of respect "no really, am I saying it right?" Yes, that's fine "no seriously, I want to learn it?" well, it's more like X. Can you just shut up>?[/quote]
