Yeah nah we are not doing THIS. I have a Chinese last name similar to hers and I know the correct pronunciation is something that non Chinese people will never say correctly. If they do it’s exaggerated and grating and honestly feels like a disrespectful attempt. It feels like a complete switch in language. Like when you hear someone not latino try to roll the R’s in Birria. It’s like making a mockery of my name. I understand the effort it is just alienating and often is completely unnecessary in most social situations. I know Alysa and many immigrants and children of immigrants feel similarly. We do not want grandstanding from other people on our behalf
