What's in a name ? Apparently a whole hell of a lot at least according to the National Bureau of Economic Research people with "white" names such as John, Emily, and Greg are more likely to get called back when sending out resumes then People with "black/ethnic" names like LaLasha, Jamal, or Keishan. In fact they are up to 50% more likely to be considered for a job then applicants with ethnic names. Are you mad yet? Because I am. Being a person with an "ethnic" name it makes me livid. I mean my blood boils to hear that my name has disqualified me for jobs without my application even being read. It is SHAMEFUL and WRONG! The wrongness is on the same level passing judgment because of someones skin color, religion, or being an emigrant. None of those factors makes someone a bad person, predisposed them for good or band work ethic, and neither does a name. It is silly and unfair.

I do think parent should may be reign in the crazy name but no so there children can be considered for jobs but so kids won't be so mean. Having a unique name doesn't make life any easier gowning up. But, that is children not grown adults that know better then to judge a book by it's cover or a person by their name.
