People make a lot of assumptions based on a name alone.
Jamaal Allan, a high school teacher in Des Moines, Iowa, should know. To the surprise of many who have only seen his name, Allan is white. And that's taken him on a lifelong odyssey of racial encounters.

Probably had a number of scholarship offers to Ivy League schools.

Was he adopted by black parents?

Chances he has caused at least one of his employers to miss their diversity quota?

My neighbor growing up was named Jamal and he was white.

I knew a white guy in BR named Jamal. He played football for Southern for a short stint. He said all his teachers were surprised when they saw him.

I just bet his life has been such a struggle being white with an urbanite name.
He could easily relate to the discrimation of races in this country.
What a brave young man he has been.

I had a HS English teacher named Jerome Chapman. Whitest guy you ever met. He was cousins with Mark David Chapman, the guy who killed John Lennon, and he looked a lot like him for a point of reference.
