Do you find her name "offensive"?


Matthew Hubbard, an old timer Math teacher at a College in Oakland, California is on suspension after he asked his Vietnamese student to ANGLICIZE her name because it was OFFENSIVE!!

He took beef to her name on freshman, 18 y/o Phuc Bui Diem Nguyen as a series of emails were posted by her in her second day of class where he told her her name was offensive because it sounds like an INSULT in English!!

She was nicknamed "May" in high school and is proud of her birth name who was looking forward to using it in college but her professor was not a happy camper and she did not want to change it to please him and said she would respond by filing a Title IX complaint if he didn't quit it.

Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states No person in the US shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..

But Hubbard maintained his objections and then blatantly said "Your name in English sounds like F*** Boy" and even went further with his racism..

She didn't know what Anglicize meant at first so her friend screenshotted it and shared it around on twitter. She said she's never heard of that before and was surprised after googling it and then called her best friend to ask what it meant.

She said "I was shook because growing up they were problems with how to pronounce my name, but they would ask me how to pronounce my name"

She he should have made an effort with his students considering the college has over 17,000 students that are 26% asian, latinx students make up 25%, african americans at 20% and whites is the lowest with 15% of the student body

The college acknowledged the acts as racist and xenophobic messages from their faculty member who is now on admin leave while they investigate

Do you find her name "offensive"?

well, here's what I think

- if she's an overseas student, then it makes sense to discreetly inform her, in case she didn't know and would find it embarrassing and prefer to change it
- if she's Vietnamese-American (which sounds like it's the case here?) then she already knows and he can shut up
- regardless, if she says she wants to keep it (which is definitely the case here) then he can double shut up

i'm kind of amazed that this is lawsuit-worthy. ignorant people thinking they know everything is just the worst

the teacher is probably kicking himself for using the wrong words. if he said he was uncomfortable calling her Fuck Boi and asked for a nickname it probably wouldn't have become news

Or just gone with the ol' call everyone by their last name strategy

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

the problem is that her name isnt even remotely close to being pronounced as fuck boi. Its closer to foop boaey. And if Professor Eatadick made literally any effort whatsoever to google or ask the person in question how to pronounce it, he would know that.
