I'm white, with part of my name not being English. Not a single white person I knew growing up could pronounce it properly without being corrected, nor could people of most other races for that matter. I never got offended or agitated, in fact I found it fairly amusing. I also had friends with very asian names and rather than whining about how I didn't know how to pronounce them initially, they corrected and taught me how to understand names from those cultures, and I found it enlightening.

But it's just easier to play victim I suppose.
