In pscharer’s vein: I attended a naturalization ceremony for a friend originally from Haiti. The official reading the names of the new American citizens would read Latin American names with the accent (he was White), but those from other parts of the world got a “normal” pronunciation. My Haitian friend’s name was mangled—even his easier-to-pronounce name was messed up.
