"It looks like that name violates our name standards" != Accusing native americans of using fake names



It does come across to me as accusing people of using fake names, in part because the immediate remedy they suggest is to send in scan of ID to prove that it's your real name. If they just didn't like the name, vs. suspecting it to be fake, why would they want a scan of ID?


Ok, they accuse them of having true but unacceptable names.

How is that any better?
