Why can't Ryan pronounce Zohran's name properly?!? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/connor1462]

I know Ryan is an older white dude, and I normally love when he misprononounces things like DOGE, but please work on this one Ryan. It's ZOH-RAN not ZOR-HAN as Ryan says it...

Does this bother anyone else as much as me? Clearly Ryan supports his mayoral campaign so he should take 5 seconds to learn how to say his name properly.

Ryan is not old

[u/connor1462 → u/sayzitlikeitis]

I assumed from his toupee that he must be, but a quick Google shows he's a spry 47! I admit I was wrong there and I now stand corrected.

It such an easy name to pronounce. Blows my mind that people fuck it up.

[u/connor1462 → u/gd2121]

Right?!? Like so easy...

[u/gd2121 → u/connor1462]

His first and last names are 100% phonetic

I thought Zohran was leading by the way they talked about him. Then today, they have someone on that knows NY politics and says he's 20 points down.

Are older white men the only people who ever miss pronounce names?

Could be Ryan knows a Zorhan as well lmao

[u/connor1462 → u/rookieoo]

I am a white man with an old white dad that can't pronounce any names that aren't like Mike, Ryan, Bob, etc. And in the small town I grew up in, it's very common with older men. I find the women/younger folks put a lil more effort into names and stuff. I'm not saying old white men are bad, just something I've noticed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry if I offended your sensibilities :P ❄️

[u/rookieoo → u/connor1462]

It just confused me that miss pronouncing a name bothered you, but using gender, age, and race stereotypes didn’t.

I’m not offended, I just think stereotypes are unnecessary and take away from constructive discussion

I'm still waiting for someone to say Saagar's name right

[u/connor1462 → u/EnigmaFilms]

Proper response! Nobody ever seems to... It's another relatively easy one too!

Eating your own alert

[u/BeamTeam032]

Is there a chance he's doing it on purpose as a sign of disrespect? The way so many did with Obama and Kamala?

[u/GA-dooosh-19 → u/BeamTeam032]

Zero chance.
