That's what you think the world should be like, not the way it is. If your name is Adolfhitler Smith, a perfectly legal name in the US, then you will have trouble getting hired.
That's a made up example, but there's evidence[1] that unusual (not necessarily obscene) names will lead to less success in job applications.
If you have a "bad" name, it's your problem well before anyone else's.
