I remember when most people didn't know the proper way of pronouncing Reagan. I think it was the second time a major presidential candidate had a somewhat exotic sounding name. Before that, some mispronounced Eisenhower. Most people thought it was "REE-gan." The campaign corrected it and the American public quickly adapted.
So what is with internationally mispronouncing Kamala? She's been vice president for 4 years now. Could it be because...
I should know better. I have an Asian surname. I have been subject to rightwing assholes internationally saying my name with an exaggerated and mocking Asian accent . That's what happens when a political movement is full of racist man babies.
