I can be a racist bigot, but if I'm a good programmer I will not prevent login for the users 晴輝, Abd al-Aziz or 湘.

However, if you were a programmer with a very insular mindset, you could create a system without support for such non English names, by not even considering that non English users would use the service. Just an example of a prejudice that could show though.

True, but by definition a good programmer should take non English names into account. ;-)

It is more an example of random prejudice introduced by a programmer. In that case I retract some of my points.
