From the chapter in the book I'm reading on immigration and racism. They want to find out if your name's ethnicity stops you from getting an interview. The initial job application they read only has name and age. No picture. So, if a black applicant is named Bob Smith they could assume he's white. But if his name is Lavonius Jackson they have a hint. The results are determined by the ratio of how many applications from a group = one of them granted a personal interview. The results from worst to best:
1. Muslims. Only 1 of 15 Abduhl Mohammends get an interview.
2. Blacks. Only 1 in 10 get it.
3. Whites and Asians are tied for best results.
There is no difference between males and females of each group.
Was there a control group?
Let's see some applications from Bohumil Stojanovski, see how many call backs he gets.
That's Eastern European, so white...
Surely they'll get as many callbacks as "Bob Smith".
Since, you know, this is all about race.

Have you seen this study before?
A white person with a felony conviction is more likely to get hired than an equally qualified black person with a clean record.
But we hear mediocre white men here whine endlessly about DEI because they can’t get better jobs.
ETA there’s a whole book about it. Marked by Devah Pager.
Muh studies!

I also don’t interview people that drag their heels when meeting me. Nor do I interview people that are late.
In other words….so what?

None of those names are a coincidence
I'm white middle class, but my sister has a "zesty, unorthodox" spelling of her name. Despite a good upbringing and high IQ, she's a wayward person. Apparently not a coincidence
