Say my name!

If your are a person of color, you know there are people out there who insist on pronouncing your name "ethnic." Here's what an introduction might sound like:

Scenario 1:
Hi, my name is Jane.
Nice to meet you, Jane (pronouncing it: Gee-un) Is that short for something?

Or it might go like this . . .

Scenario 2:
Hi, my name is Jane.
Oh, I like the American name you picked. But really, what's your real name?
