Bet this teacher wouldn’t ask a white kid named Chase D*** to change his name even tho it sounds like chase d*** in English

the pho at pho king is f***ing good tho

then he should have asked how to pronounce it instead of assuming and asking her to anglicize it which is offensive AF. If someone disrespected my culture like that straight off the bat I would just not want to deal with them too

Because its unnacceptable to ask people to change their name

Yeah this professor could have avoided all this nonsense by explaining it reasonably

I would be offended if I was her too, but if I was the professor I'd just have fun with her name lmao.

if he can’t tell it’s a common name then clearly he doesn’t know that it’s a foreign name. i think you are also being wilfully obtuse.

it’s like a vietnamese person saying “oh i met someone called john, i didn’t know it was a common name”

this crackers audacity
the nerve

Wait so is that how it’s actually pronounced? Or jus looks like that in English pronunciation and has a different proper Vietnamese pronunciation?

I think that the correct pronunciation is Fook Boo (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

There's no English pronunciation. The name is Vietnamese so it is what it is and the professor is an absolute moron.

this hilarious tho ngl

A lot of ya exposing yourself on the first page, smh

I had to do this in kindergarten lmao, the thing is my name isn't even difficult to pronounce in english. I never really gave it much thought till recently how its weird that a random old woman effectively changed my name

I really don’t get that first sentence at all - recognising a name as being foreign isn’t the same thing as knowing if that name is common in its country of origin?

phuc bui is crazy tho

and that’s what makes him and you uncultured. if you are aware of certain languages/countries you’d be aware that multiple people will have either the same first name or surname.

if you don’t know the origins of the name (or country) then you likely wouldn’t be aware whether it is or isn’t a common name.

if you are someone that enjoys learning then it’s only small trivia. you can chalk up my initial post to the first guy as just being mean for no reason or trolling but there’s still truth to it

@KELYE really be arguing just to argue lol

@BLitty

lmaoo no i just said it

not my fault if others wanna argue with me

I believe the H is silent or sth or else

Lmao f*** this nigga
