Despite his own self-identification, people are rejecting that and then purposefully putting forth the "foreign sounding" name instead. Why? They wouldn't be doing it if his given name was William and he went by "Bobby" even though "Bobby" isn't his "legal name." They are doing it to reinforce his OTHERNESS.
That's the definition of prejudice.
