So funny how the 'You're in America, speak English' crowd can't even pronounce Zohran's name even though it's literally pronounced like it's spelled (hexbear.net)

When English is your only language and you can't even get that right, maybe who's running for mayor shouldn't be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.

i guess ive heard Zo-rahn and Zor-ahn mostly, But also who gives a fuck, he almost certainly doesnt, people probably been saying it different his whole life.

I see people thinking I meant his first name, I actually meant people keep saying 'Mandami' or 'Mandani'

tbf you did just call him by "Zohran", so contextually it seems like you'd be talking about that, and he has corrected Cuomo saying Zor-han before.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Those are basically the same, but Zohran has corrected Cuomo saying Zor-han before, so he cares at least a tiny bit unless you want to say it's 100% a cynical snipe (it's probably partly a cynical snipe, but I doubt entirely so when his last name gets botched so much by people also being racist toward him).
