Yes,  you would.

Nothing of all this is "racial".

So if it's not "racial", it's all fine then?

Is being discriminated due to one's name acceptable when there's no proof that you may cause any problem? A real question.

I didn't say "it's fine" . I said it's not "racial". The list of names is racially diverse! :)

A new story, this time about Mouser. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/mouser-export-review/

It is a mess no matter where you look.

Also, I'm surprised that DK is even talking to the people. In our case we are not allowed to talk to people until export compliance is cleared. So, we can't even communicate the reason for delays.

I wonder if this stuff is driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, whereby a lot of western chips have turned up in Russian missiles, tanks, etc.

A lot of these are trivia like a MAX232 but a lot of them are definitely dual use, or worse.

It's been getting a lot of press coverage.

The order contents does not matter, the match is purely on the person. You can order a single SMD resistor and still get flagged.

The restricted parts were already flagged long time ago.

I was with Citibank many years ago. Due to having a surname which, being East European (former comm bloc) and almost matching some crazy Arab terrorist, prevented CB doing foreign transfers! They could not inspect the US blacklist; it was a database query only returning Y or N. Stupid system, not helped by a bank with stupid UK staff.

But now I buy using my UK company name and nothing has come up. Maybe it is people buying using personal names. They should set up a business name e.g. Joe Bin Laden -> JBL Systems.

I get a daily update from Ukraine and the amount of stuff is amazing. Large Altera and Xilinx FPGAs, various TMS320 family processors (Iranians like those for missiles). Russia and Iran will have stockpiled this stuff; it costs nothing on the scale of mil costs. But you can't stop this at all. Anybody can buy it.
