So what I thought was an error that could bite me in the ass on this upcoming Mexico trip was my first name having a misspelling, this incident made me realize that I'm such a coconut.
Calling Aeromexico and giving them my identifying information one of which was my last name which is of Hispanic origins. I typically have a "white pronunciation" when I say it. Though depending on the ethnic company, usually whitewashed or other mixto types that have fully been indoctrinated to US culture, is when I will make attempts at the correct pronunciation. Nothing quite like a reminder as to your lack of knowledge about "the language of your people" from those who are fluent questioning your obvious inability to know how it should be pronounced, especially ones name.

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
