Knowing they would never use an inflection when pronouncing African American, Asian, Irish, Italian, etc names as well?

I used to have a boss that would do this with Hispanic females that worked for us. They never said anything, but it seemed weird for a 40 yo white dude to be rolling R’s.

There’s a happy medium I think. Like you don’t want to sound like a fake arse, but you can also sound too white

You don’t change your voice a little when saying Tyrone, Chow, O’Connell, or Corleone?

Why do some LSU fans insist on putting eaux at the end of words?

I remember Jim Hawthorne pronouncing Martinez as Martin-ez while calling a baseball game like he had never seen or heard the name before. He sounded retarded.

There are plenty of Martinez folks from South Louisiana that pronounce their names Martin-ez. I’m related to a few.
