Since Kamala Harris was introduced to the national stage as Joe Biden's running mate in 2020, she's faced constant mispronunciations of her name. For people of color and immigrants with ethnic names, this disrespect is all too familiar. The purposeful mispronunciation, coupled with the constant questioning of her identity, is a sad attempt at othering Harris, who's Indian and Black. It's pronounced YEH-rin — like Erin with a "Y," as I tell people — and it was chosen by my late grandfather. But for years, I struggled to take pride in both my Korean heritage and ethnically Korean name.
