Yeah it was Karthick who brought up the race card and BB should not have pandered to it.Fair enough mispronouncing somebody's name is annoying but to bring racism into it just undermines actual racism.BB should know better.

Mispronouncing someone's name is not racist. Everyone at work spells my name wrong. I never once thought it was racist.

I'm sorry but some of you in this thread are truly ignorant. Big Brother explained it right: it's not just misspelling or mispronouncing sometimes name. It's a white man lacking the deceny to learn a foreign man's name and telling him he should therefore change it. Its incredibly disrespectful and would make anyone feel wrongly inferior. It reminds me of when Jackie would continuously mispronounce Shilpa's name. Just have some basic human decency, ffs.
