We never have to hear about Joe Morrissey again AND the district gets fantastic hard working representation. A true win win situation.

I did, and fuck me for an off the cuff reaction to a name I couldn't pronounce after waking up.

There’s a long history of people making fun of Black people’s names for being unpronounceable as a racist dogwhistle. I am not saying in any way that you did this, but if you care about that kind of thing, reconsider posting things like your original comment.

This is certainly true, but her name is clearly unusual—especially in its spelling. There is absolutely nothing inherently racist about someone asking how to pronounce it, and it’s kind of silly to even bring that up in this particular example.

This is like someone spelling their name Jocsh and pronouncing it “Josh”; nothing wrong with spelling it that way if you want to, and nothing wrong with someone clarifying how it’s pronounced because, again, it’s clearly atypical.

Good lord r/rva you're downvoting this informative and non-judgy comment? Get a grip and welcome to the century where we stop pretending shit like this isn't really happening.
