Whether or not it is offensive, it clearly is not appropriate for a work chat. If you wish to mock Asian names do it outside of work.

A meme doesn't need to be offensive to be inappropriate in a given environment.

I think it depends on whether it's the kid's actual name or not.

Not sure why anyone would think that was work appropriate tbh, regardless of what you think about mocking Asian names.

If I were a Chinese American kid named Dam Son and no one acknowledged it for fear of offending me I would be offended at the lack of recognition of my awesome name.

Could be insensitive.

But I think it depends if it's fun/positive or negative, something they could possibly be bullied over.

Positive - Dam Son
Negative - Dat Ho
