experience racism when my family moved from Wales to
England when I was still at school. Initially the other kids accepted me; though after they had told their parents I was Welsh I endured a number of ostracising sneering comments: "Your lot shag sheep", "You are Welsh so you're a thief", "Do they have toilets where you come from?", etc. Eventually it settled down, but it was a puzzling and unpleasant experience, and I understand that after people encounter that in a genuinely hostile manner a few times in their life, then even "harmless" or "humorous" comments in the same vein can be unsettling, and it can be difficult for the receiver to differentiate the "friendly banter" from the genuinely racist. So, even harmless comments can be perceived as racist, so a considerate person would take care not to raise certain topics with someone they don't know. Commenting on someone's name may not be racism perhaps, but could be inconsiderate.

respond calmly to allegations against you. Accusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all). Editors who conduct themselves inappropriately during a case may be sanctioned by an arbitrator, clerk, or functionary, without further warning, by being banned from further participation in the case, or being blocked altogether. Personal attacks against other users, including arbitrators or the clerks, will be met with sanctions. Behavior during a case may also be considered by the committee in arriving at a final decision.

people taking one look at foreign-looking names and anglicising them (often with only a vague relationship with the original), either for ease of pronunciation or just to make them seem more
British and thus more respectable (e.g. Fernando → Andy is one I remember hearing). In that context it is entirely a product of the casual racism of society, although the individual may not consciously be aware of it as such.
808:, thank you for the note. Apologies for exceeding the same. I request the arbitrators/clerks to kindly allow this submission, given the relevance of the issues and the fact that SW has already referenced the evidence in his analysis.

I'd point out that

I agree that racism depends on circumstances. I have an awkward surname (Pereira) which people struggle to pronounce, and which elicits a lot of queries. I've never encountered this as racism, but then as I am white
