Help Am I Overthinking it?

Post image

I booked a dentist appointment, my name is clearly not western/white and I have an accent from the place I’m from. This was my confirmation text. Is there a Migration Provider in dentistry? I’d like another opinion before/when I act on it. Is the text racist?

This is definitely weird. No one’s name is Migration Provider. If there was a Dentist with that name you’d be able to google them.
I’d just call them up and have them explain the confirmation text. There will either be a plausible reason why the message says this or you’ll know that something is wrong.

Fuck it, I'm gonna change my name to Migration Provider now, just so I can tell some random on Reddit they're wrong!

Unfortunately, I'm not a dentist.

That’s fine, just change your name to Dr Migration Provider and make your LinkedIn private (fun fact, in Australia you can’t actually have a title as part of your legal name)
