My parents gave me a white name

[Ricer]

Instead of an Asian name, my parents decided to give me a white name, probably thinking that it would make me fit in with the white kids. Instead of fitting in, the white kids would mock my name, I remember them saying it in all forms of Asian accents to humiliate me and asking how "my people" pronounced my name.

Your parents did the right thing. It's a fact that US employers discriminate against non-white names on resumes. "David" might get a call back, "Burhanuddin" will not-- at least not in the US, esp. now that DEI has been defeated.

no, it's a very normal name. My name itself isn't what people made fun of me for, they made fun of me for being a panfaced gook.

 

[MountainGorilla]

Is it Wolfgang or Dalgliesh
Or some anglicized Irish name

 

[Animecel2D]

My dad was legit going to give me that name and then my mum put her foot down and said no

Nah my dad just gave me his own name instead. Mum didn’t care as long as it wasn’t Wolfgang

such a shame, if I was named wolfgang I would’ve have a fun time acting like I’m a mysterious lone wolf sigma male
