I've had a similar experience, my name is Nigel, and I got asked to change my username for it being Nigel Brando, this is a username I've used for a while, as Brando is honouring my dead friend Brandon. He died from a brain haemorrhage a month ago. However the admin "chienman" kept pestering me to change my name, as it was "racist". I asked him why and how? And explained that my name was actually Nigel, and that it was stupid to tell me to change it, and I was banned for a day. I think this is quite discriminatory as it is my actual name. That's like telling me that my entire existence is reduced to being "loophole racism" especially when his name is almost "chinaman" which is much more racist than me having my ACTUAL name as a username. I'm fairly left wing myself and I can't see why he thinks my name is offensive.
