  I assume your correspondent is referring to the studies in which the same resume, with different names, were sent out to help wanted ads and saw lower response rates for "black" names. Obviously the correct solution is that the people making those decisions shouldn't be, or should be otherwise relieved of their discriminatory behavior. But I think it's reasonable for someone to feel bad about society forcing parents into choosing between identity and financial well-being. The reality, naturally, is likely even more complicated: https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-study-suggests-researchers-look-more-closely-at-connections-between-names-and-race https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-study-suggests-resea...

  Yes. Proportionally, I'm far more likely to have a bad encounter with a Da'Qweezishan than a John. It's my observation that the eccentricity of the name is somewhat correlated with the dysfunctionality of the person's background and childhood environment.
