Interesting article.
For the "black names" thing, though, I would be curious to know if there were any studies also comparing "stereotypical white-but-not-anglophone" names, for example Greek, East-European, or South-European names.
And also, for example, non-traditional names that have no racial implications, like "Rainbow" or similar.
- rmc 12y agoI don't know about other ethnic names, but there have been studies with male name versus female name, which show men get offered more jobs and more money.
- icebraining 12y agoYeap. And regardless of the gender of the person evaluating the candidate.
- disputin 12y ago"non-traditional names that have no racial implications, like "Rainbow" or similar" Aren't the races behind these names usually clear? In Africa such names are along the lines of Pretty, or Precious, and in the west they're Apple, or Peaches.
