Minor humor aside
Here's what I mean. There's a study going around about the way resumes bearing white-sounding names get picked by personnel recruiters much more often than those with ethnic-sounding names.
I believe I heard this story somewhere on National Public Radio (NPR) a while back.
A guy, whose name IIRC was Jameel, was telling his story. He had applied for a job at some (I believe) college, and they decided they should hire him to diversify their ethnicity. Then they were surprised when a white guy showed up.
No replies needed.
