Some of these adverts telling us how to pronounce their products correctly

One doing the rounds is that Hyundai ad.
We apparently pronounce it as hi un die... No, its Hi un dee
Then there that Skoda one... We're apparently pronouncing that wrong, it's shh coe dah
The point I'm making
, I'll get there... Is this:
If this was being done in another country, would this be considered as racist? Different countries have different languages, and dialect, if we started telling them that their language and the way they talk is inadvertently making them incorrectly pronounce British products wrong, there'd be an absolute uproar.
Have I got a point?
