Nicomi Stewart, a mother in Rochester, New York, is “disgusted” after an automated call sent to her phone from the city’s school district mispronounced her daughter’s name as a racial slur.
Stewart’s 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 Nicarri’s 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.
sounds like the GPS in my car...
For “Chattanooga” sometimes she asks me if I want “so and so street, Chattanogger” and few times its been “Chattan...r”
she has yet to say CHATTANOOGA...
:)
So she must really hate rap music.
All difficult names are pronounced “N****r”.
She should have named her kid a more common name like Lo’quiceea or something.
Same here.
You doing OK?
Isn’t the mother concerned that her daughter skipped school one day? Where was she?
Someday we can tell our grandkids about “The day accents became illegal.”
Lol!
L-A (”L Dasha” the dash don’t be silent).
Because machines should be sensitive.
Geez, what idiots.
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.
She was at a gang initiation, cool your jets.
How niggardly.
One from Maury today was Iqueria and my recent find in the local obits...Anesthesia!!
