Spare A Thought For Phuc Dat Bich, Who Can’t Seem To Convince People That’s His Real Name
Can't imagine why.
Phuc Dat Bich, a 23-year-old Australian with Vietnamese heritage, is having a hard time convincing people of the legitimacy of his name for some reason.

“I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it,” Phuc Dat wrote.
“I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive. Is it because I’m Asian? Is it?”

As you can see, this post was uploaded back in January. But the good people of the internet only recently picked up the story after it featured on News.com, and circulated it tenfold — to further help Phuc Dat receive justice, of course.

Bloody know-it-alls.
