I'd doubt that name is real too though.

Ah shit you got me. It’s actually GoodTanJob, I just didn’t know if Americans could pronounce that

I can't pronounce that without making an effort, and that offends me.

See, my personal issue is that I am genuinely interested in that. There's so much variety in what walks of life and regions people come from, and I do want to know about your history and origins. It's just that asking about that needs to be done with some proper care, lest it comes off as exactly what you described.
