God damn it why can’t people call me by my full name. Why do they shorten it without asking me and despite me telling them to call me by my name?
It’s not a white person name so for example, say my name was Taylor, they call me ‘Tayl’. It really drives me up the wall. Its not even a hard name to say!!!
Am white, but also hate it! My parents didn’t name me “Banana” they named me “Bananafungus”, and unless I’ve told you otherwise that’s what you can call me.
Same but I’m glad I included my English name in official documents so it helps if I am interacting with real people (Ba Con Mash, Mash being my English name). Still banks and companies etc. say Dear Ba,
Funny. I HATE it. I introduce myself as Tom instead of Thomas (example, obviously). the amount of people who call me Thomas is nuts even after being told it’s Tom. Its like “No, I told you my name. show me the respect of using it.” I immediately assume you’re being condescending otherwise.
