They chose last names at least 10,000 people had in the 2010 census. Over 43.6% had a more uncommon last name.[1] And some of the study names were much more common. Which first names seem uncommon to you? Black names are perceived as lower class because they're associated with black people. And education and work history are stronger class signals. Which names do you think sound like immigrants? You looked at the names they used. So you know they didn't use different forms of the same name. Or hyphenated last names. They calculated the effects of each characteristic. They found discrimination against men and women balanced out. They found modest but significant age discrimination. And they found club memberships had no significant effect. Absolute prevention is a straw man.
