Social bumbling

By A massive racist, apparently - 09/06/2023 05:00 - United States

Today, I found out it's apparently racist to point out that a person has a unique spelling for a common name. I then found out it's even more racist to yell at the person who tells you in a very condescending tone that "it's a common spelling," even though I've literally never seen it before in my life. FML

I mean, you probably could've just not commented on it. Besides the other person might've heard that a million times before you came along.

Honestly, do yourself a favor by not overcomplicating things and keeping your mouth shut.

I don't see where the racism-part comes in. But why yell?

When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

This is a situation where it's best to just not say anything. Just because you've never seen the variant doesn't mean it's not commonly used.
