I once had three students in one class who were all named José. For the purpose of avoiding confusion, I asked if it would be alright if I called them Hose-A, Hose-B, and Hose-C and they all loved the idea.
This is a true story. The day they were all absent and I got to ask the class "Where my Hoses at?" was a red letter day in my life.
When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?
(i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)
