A 23-year-old Melbourne cleaner of Vietnamese-Australian ancestry uploaded a snap of his passport and vented his frustration on Facebook after the social media giant terminated his account three times on the grounds that his name was ‘false and misleading.’ His name? Phuck Dat Bich.
This is what he wrote: โI 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. 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? Having my fb shut down multiple times and forced to change my name to my “real” name, so just to put it out there. My name.’ โYours sincerely,โ โPhuc Dat Bichโ
The name, which is pronounced ‘Phoop Dook Bic,’ is reportedly common in Vietnam, despite the spectacular response it has received in Australia.
