Steve Sailer linked to this study showing that people sending resumes with black-sounding forenames. Throughout the my life, I’ve noticed that people who refuse to discuss black crime rates and illegitimacy rates will laugh about names like Vershawn and Tamala. Why can’t people who believe that the CIA gave Bob Marley cancer conceive that most white people think that typically black names are ridiculuous?
This got me wondering how this works for Asians. If you put “Yuriko Watanabe” on your resume would an employer be more likely to hire you than if you signed yourself “Mary Margaret Sullivan”? Would an employer say, “She’s probably a drunk. Hire the Japanese chick.” Are Asians with English first names like “Sarah Kim” more likely to be hired than those with ethnic first names?
