You're absolutely right. Racist virtue signalling. They learned how to say everything from Tchaikovsky to Schwarzenegger. Somehow this is culturally neutral. But can't say Aboriginal or migrant names - instead this is 'culture wars.' The logic of the racist mind is spectacular.
When racism is muddled with tall poppy syndrome. Here's Deputy Editor of trash rag wishing it was the 1980s so she can disrespect migrants with impunity.
Lucy Zelic is getting basic pronunciation right. Shame @dailytelegraph can't see why facts are part of a journalist's jobpic.twitter.com/D0pLq2vaKC

No one cares if you have to ask multiple times how to pronounce names or if you need to keep practising. It's the fact that some people won't even try - and think it's their right to do it wrong. This media framing on 'manners' is a smokescreen. It's basic respect of diversity

I work with people in countries all over the world and the first thing I say is "If I mispronounce your name, please correct me." It's not hard to show a basic level of respect to people.

Names are especially important to get right. It's a basic level of respect. Lucy has the right idea and she is in no way showing off.

Trying to make a woman who is performing her job in an educated and respectful manner, something shameful. All under the guise of 'good old fashioned easy going Australian values'. Ughhh.
