i'm doing a phd (in linguisticz, sry i'm not stem) rn and honestly i can't wait to snobbily force people to call me dr lmao. i'm an immigrant and have a """"foreign"""" name and for most of my life people have responded to me introducing myself with "i'm not even gonna attempt to pronounce that hahahahahhhahaha". still seething over that time somebody told me to marry asap so i can have a normal last name already hahahaahhaha. and i can see that my dad, dr foreignname, is treated way better by random people than my mom, mrs foreignname. honestly can't wait to say "oh you can't pronounce it? :))) no worries, frau doktor is fine :)))"
god that fucking sucks, i'm sorry :( my advisor recommended me to german-ise my name, but he was coming from a good place - he had to do the same when he moved to germany as a phd student...

uncritical support to snobbily dunking on people doing a racist microaggression.
