Kokayi.

But the point is, if someone is asking another person what they're name is and now to say it. You don't jump into the conversation and pull some elitist shit say "Well actually, that's not the right what to say it."

For the most part in RWBY (even though they've said that race and culture aren't every going to be an issue in the story since it's not Earth) they seem to, in their own way, respect diversity in their cast. I don't think mispronounciations are from laziness or neglect at least. But it wouldn't hurt to use some non-European or Asian names. Even if it's anime inspired. Do the respect, go the extra mile, and add other culture's words/names for colors.
