Wong in Hong Kong, a Cantonese-speaking society, is often the spelling of 2 different Chinese-surname characters both spelled Wang in pinyin, as well as of the surname character spelled Huang in pinyin.
Storm in a teacup, suggest we drop the whole issue and go on to something more useful, I can't seriously care about this anymore.
Well said, Geezer. Fortunately gokunming doesn't engage in it, although it is required by the Forces That Be to pass it on to consumers in order to function. So far this has not been a problem.
Thing about online anonymity, however, is that it can eliminate any serious personal paranoia and simply focus on information, ideas and, perhaps, debate - I cannot possibly take personally comments about alienew, and have a hard time understanding why anybody else has problems with their avatar names. No one thinks right all the time - so what? Considering the viewpoints of others might well be considered a useful supplement to speaking.
If I were a martial arts instructor I don't think I'd accept those with such problems into my dojo.
Have you considered other opportunities to study Chinese in Kunming? There are several.
Incidentally, I don't know where you're coming from but the fact that you use the term 'high school' makes me think it may be the US - anyway, I'm not female, but I don't consider Kunming to have lots of nutty people that might cause trouble to worry about, in comparison to plenty of other places that I've been to.

The debate at Sera - this was a debate with a lot of traditional physical gestures, right? I was there in 2014 by myself on an ordinary day, but there were other tourists, and saw the same - impressive, but if it's every day I wonder whether tourism doesn't have something to do with it, Or maybe they do debates daily as part of monastic training?
Anyway, it really looks like it was a great trip!
