- tester756 5y agoIs it same thing as making fun of names? that probably every country does - e.g saying "average Joe"? if yes, then how is this associated with racism?
- monocasa 5y agoRead the paper, as it's not just those two names. Black names are undeniably discriminated against at the earliest points of the employment process. This is something I like to bring up, since it's a great example of a microcosm of discrimination that it's easy to not think about. There's a black saying that blacks have to work twice as hard to get half as far, and the data seems to be remarkably close to that assessment.
