“I have an Indian name, it's 5 letters long and 3 syllables, so not super complex, but not common either. I introduced myself to a co-worker in a big group, and even showed my badge to him so he could read the name. He told me that he was not even going to try, my name was too hard. I thought he was joking, but he continued to learn everyone else's name in the group and repeated them back with no problem.”
