    People have mispronounced my name about a million times. From now on I'm calling those people bokchoy. And tweeting about it. Because I have to.

    Yeah, like what does mispronouncing a name have to do with white privilege? Is it also white privilege if I make a spelling error? I have so much to learn.

    I don't think that's how white privilege works...

    I think he's saying Asians have the privilege of being ugly Whites. I'm not very Twitter literate, though, so I might have misinterpreted.

    BTW: For the super sensitive, I'm just having some fun with it. Certainly there may be more to the story. Or not. IDK.

    Yeah, I can see how you'd get tired of people pronouncing it Burt. That would get old real fast.

    Damn, wtf Webster lol.

    I always found him to be one of the more thoughtful and respectful NBA players so it's kinda weird seeing him say this.
