Nicomi Stewart, a mother in Rochester, New York, is disgusted after an automated call sent to her phone from the citys school district mispronounced her daughters name as a racial slur.
Stewarts daughter is named Nicarri. Stewart told WHAM TV the message clearly began, This is Edison Career and Technology High School. Your daughter, N****r, has missed period one on
The call came after Nicarri missed a day of class at Edison Career and Technology High School.
The racially insensitive robocall came more than once so Stewart was able to record the message.
I was like, wow, am I really hearing you correctly, did the machine just say this? Stewart told WHAM TV. It was unbelievable. I was shocked. I was disgusted. I was upset.
Even stranger: Stewart said the robocalls correctly pronounced Nicarris name last year....

Electronic voices do that, mispronounce. I bet last year it was a real person. On our caller ID the phone tries to pronounce the caller and it’s funny what it does to some names.

She should have named her kid a more common name like Loquiceea or something.

Isn’t the mother concerned that her daughter skipped school one day? Where was she?

The racially insensitive robocallBecause machines should be sensitive.
Geez, what idiots.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Not concerned her kid is cutting class, but outraged at a machine mispronuncing her awkward name. Priorities?

Maybe that’s why blacks call each other that.
Even they can’t pronounce their friends names

In fact, now that I’ve read the whole thing, it sounds like her daughter is missing school repeatedly. Why else would this lady get so many calls? But evidently that isn’t important.
