If white people can pronounce names like Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Tchaikovsky perfectly, they can pronounce your name.
They are just pretending its difficult so they can rename you. Don't let this passive aggressive slight go on. Correct them if they say it wrong until they say it right.
They know how to pronounce these names because they've heard them forever. Most have a hard time pronouncing Eastern European names if they hear it for the first time. I'm half-Belgian and I know that most Euros cannot pronounce Flemish last names like Verhofstatd or Van Cauwenberghe, etc. shyt most people can't pronounce Maastricht correctly.
