I think we said pretty much the same thing. I'd be interested to understand how you think we disagree.
For example, you said "these names point to a working-class origin". I said "they’ve inadvertently created a marker for lower socioeconomic status."
You said "Where the TV is predominant, the chances are low that the parents read often or could help with homework." I said "but lower socioeconomic status is correlated with lower test scores." You gave a mechanism that explained how my claim comes true.
I then go on to say how this discrimination becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and leads to a cycle where people with these names are less likely to succeed.
You went a different way, pointing out that it's not only anglophone names in France that indicate a working class background, it's also Arab/Muslim names.
