To take this issue further (work related)?

[FayKorgasm]

I work in retail on a part time basis. Occasionally I am assigned to the office for some admin duties along with the man who works there on a full time basis. He is well liked amongst all staff and is generally a good work mate, however he does not call me by my name and it is really bothering me. He calls all other staff by their names but not me. I have asked him not to call me the name he calls me by but he doesn't even try. It probably will damage our working relationship though if I do complain.

Can you refuse to acknowledge - I hate one of the possible nicknames for my name, but it is commonly used.

Over the years I have found the most effective way to get my point across is to just ignore them until they use my correct name. I know you say the work won't get done but if he needs to talk to you and you just ignore it will get the point across.

Good for you - don't put up with this passive aggressive shite.

I think it's very controlling and manipulative. Insidious.

Tell him that unless he stops you'll start calling him 'micropenis'. He won't carry on then.

You could record it in a diary each time he does it (but not refer to doing so).

No - make a note in a diary and do it obviously, and slowly and if he asks say 'I have been advised to note down every single instance of bullying and racism' and say no more.

It's bullying and racist. He continuing despite you not liking it and it's refring your race. I'd tell him stop or you'll report it.

As an aside I love you username

That's the kind of thing I meant Alternative.

I'd give him one more warning that you don't like this nickname and if he continues then you'll report him to management.

It's one thing to be nicknamed Irish, Paddy, Taffy, Jock, Yank, Yorkie etc if you like/don't mind it but it's not on if you've repeatedly asked him to stop.

I've a few friends with nicknames that to some would be offensive but to my friends it's not a problem and in most cases they refer to themselves with these nicknames. In your case you don't like it so he needs to stop as it sounds like it's getting close to bullying if not racism.

Start calling him by a totally different name. He sounds like a plank, tell him if he doesn't stop you'll be reporting him. Do any of your colleagues correct him?

It's racist if it's used as a derogatory term. Some nationalities don't mind nicknames (I call myself an Aussie, and most New Zealanders will use Kiwi), but other names are really offensive.

If she's Australian and he refers to her as Sheila when her name is actually Jane its very annoying but I'm not sure it's racism but it is patronising and possibly bullying

You're not UR to be annoyed. I'd be tempted to start calling him 'Brit'.

This is clearly bullying behaviour because when you ask him to stop he falls back on the old sense of humour shit. I think this is actually a very horrible situation. Without going into details I have suffered similar. You feel powerless and all churned up inside. I don't have an answer. I ended up resigning from that job.
