I pronounce my name in the English language style for white folks, because I don't want to her them butcher it.

So I told the person behind the
@Starbucks counter my name was "o-rah," They responded, "But you look like a mar-ee-ah."#StarbucksRaceStory -
I wasn't amused. But sure enough,
@Starbucks called out my order with the name the worker had written on the cup: MARIA#StarbucksRaceStory -
I bet a lot of you have a similar if not worse
#StarbucksRaceStory. And@Starbucks says it wants to talk about race, so why not shrare?
