Burke said it hurt.
"Emotionally, it ruined my day. I read this early in the morning. I had tears in my eyes," he said.
Burke's lawyers say the printing shop owner violated a California civil rights law, which can carry a fine of about $4,000, but Burke hasn't decided whether or not to sue.
"As far as I'm concerned $4,000 is not worth my looking at this guy in court," he said.According to Burke, he changed his legal name to Reichen Allen Lehmkuhl Burke because "it's tough going through daily life with a name that no one can pronounce or spell."
