Matthew Hubbard, a math professor at Laney College in Oakland, Calif., was placed on leave after he reportedly asked a student to Anglicize her name because it “sounds like an insult in English”:
We are aware of the allegations of racist and xenophobic messages from a faculty member at our college with a student about the pronunciation of their name.

In Dallas, there was a restaurant named Bich Nguyen. It was there in huge letters from the street and we got a kick out of it. Didn’t last long though.
In Florida I remember a place called Ka Ching. We ate there and let the owner know that the name probably turns off Americans.
Ho Lee Fuk!
The headline is lying. He didn’t ask the student to CHANGE her name. Anglicize doesn’t mean change. It means to pronounce it as English. This is a reasonable request. Nothing wrong with it. However, he should have known. All Whites are evil and no matter what a White does it’s wrong and the White is fired.
I’m holding my tongue. There are a few other comments I’d like to make but won’t.
Back in the day I had a guy working for me named ‘Phoc Que Ha’.
I told him ‘never visit Texas’.
I’m sure all the people who are up in arms about this would be aghast. And DEMANDED she change it if her name were Phuc Mohammed or Phuc B. El-Emm.
“I’m curious... how is the name pronounced? “
Wrong question.
“What’s she look like?” would be the correct question.
Phat Ho.
Ironically she did subsequently change her name. To “Phuc Yieu”.
Boy, will he be really apoplectic when he discovers that the Vietnamese unit of currency is the Dong. #TrueStory
Hopefully, she don’t look-a like a man.
Phuc Bui?
Phuc Yu!
