That would be a valid reason, but I suspect a more culturally appropriate one: loss of reputation. We are sensitive to that.
My point was this isn't something that only goes on in 'white' brains but more of a cultural issue. Most people in the West are incapable of pronouncing Asian names. I don't see people making a big issue out of it.
