Tbh because her last name is hyphenated and it makes her full name too long to say in casual conversation. Also long to spell. If her last name was just Cortez, shed be called Cortez.

Her full name is a bit of a mouthful. Plus AOC kind of rolls off the tongue.

Laziness ultimately. The same with all the other politicians who got abbreviated as well - they've got long names.

I've read numerous articles on Spanish people who have come to America and discovered they are "no longer white" and treated different/without privilege. It's actually a pretty interesting thing.

I have no idea why some people try to make it a dehumanizing racial thing like all us white people are a bunch of monsters who hate saying "foreign" names. Many of us who are fans of hers call her AOC just because it's quicker and easier to type.

And how many white men with easy names have been abbreviated? It happens all the time with 3 namers, regardless of pronunciation difficulty.

John F. Kennedy is pretty fucking easy to say, and its as many syllables as Barack Obama, and he got JFKed.

So anyone making it a race thing is a ******.

Wasn't singling you out or anything. I've just seen some ridiculous accusations by people over this.
