My mom did criminal defense for 25 years in DC. She would regularly be called a bitch to her face by prosecutors.

Yeah this is too close to the now tired notion from progressives that if you didn’t say it perfectly, it’s the exact same as getting it entirely wrong.

Literally nobody said or implied black people aren’t or can’t be named Dave or Emily. The racial/socioeconomic stereotypes associated with names impact people’s lives in very real ways, and it doesn’t help anybody to be all “I don’t see color!” about it.
