here’s the best characterization I’ve heard for when email/text is a possibility: Toni Morrison in an interview with Charlie Rose: White People Have a Very Serious Problem (3:25): https://youtu.be/n2txzMkT5Pc

As a BIPOC woman, I would like to point out OP that the BIPOC community isn’t exclusive or can take complete ownership over names that are a “mouthful” as you’ve put it. I’ve also heard plenty of names of Caucasian
/Eastern European/Western European names that would be considered a “mouthful” and I’ve heard many humans of our own community say “that is a mouthful” to such names. While the rest of what you are complaining about is completely valid, your first gripe is truly reaching into ankle deep waters. If that is such an issue, check your own community and quit acting like our own community (for such a petty complaint) is above reproach in that department.

Sincerely,

A BIPOC woman who is over a pointless gripe

hmm.

well-played?

@6 🙄 and?

& it's Gone

sorry, I don't speak it -- can you
Translate your wee Emogi for me?

@8 Maybe there are people who reported your comment who weren’t amused by a white guy who was doing exactly what the OP was asking others not to do: whitesplain. Maybe if you weren’t so concerned with how your stupid responses look lined up, you’d get it. Yet here we are.

well not
All of us

now who's
Stupid?

and what
makes you
'think' I'm White?
