Top 20 'Whitest' and 'Blackest' Names

Studies of resumes have found that people with black-sounding names are less likely to get callbacks.

hmm...and here i thought Ebony was a "white name"

I don't see Lemonjello and Orangejello anywhere.

What the fuck, I don't see Shithead Jones on this list?

Inked!!!!!!

Tom should be on the white boy list.

No black wants their grandchild to have an Uncle Tom.

<cough> Liberal horseshit. <cough>

old news, they stole it from here

when Jeb, Jim Bob, Cooter and Cletus apply for a job and don't have the sense to use a professional sounding name as any reasonably intelligent person would do... we won't be calling them back either.

:2 cents:

in the last 6 months, i have been flooded with applications and resumes for a magazine a partner and i am launching and each new day, i was further astounded by the idiocy of people who are looking for a job.

stereotypes exist for a reason... that reason being that they are more often correct than not.

Racial profiling at it's finest.

Whatever you say, Leeroy.

:Oh crap what?

Damn, I made the top 20.


The black girl names are really only about 3 different names, all spelled differently. :1orglaugh

i generally hire people to work for me, not to be black :2 cents:

my fav is 'latrina' and 'comoda'

I made the 20 whitest. I guess there aren't that many people naming their kids after Colin Powell yet. Well, damn. He's white anyway, ain't he?

Don't tell that to the GOP. They might take his token away.

all about black and white in the US huh

So it would b a shame to call our child the wrong name?
