#it was just such a brazen display of eurocentrism and christonormativity that i had to make a post about it

Not gonna put them on blast but I saw a tiktok today about Mayim Bialik. It was made by a blonde chick who refused to say Mayim's name. The tiktoker just went "I can never say it!" as a throwaway line to justify it. It was a four-minute-long video.

Mayim Bialik is a Hebrew name. Which means in Latin characters, it's spelled phonetically. Like. Take a look at it. Sound it out slowly. My-im Bee-all-ik. It's five syllables, pronounced the way they're written.

It's been pronounced correctly and consistently on Jeopardy for years at this point. It takes twenty seconds to find a video of her name being said aloud.

If you're going to spend four minutes straight talking about the woman to an audience of millions, take a minute to learn how to pronounce her name. I swear, white Americans will look at a name they don't instantly recognise and just refuse to say it at any cost.
