We explore the implications of this systemic bias in hiring practices, shedding light on the barriers faced by Black job…

This is why the black community needs to focus on community infrastructure more than bs entertainment like actors, artists, and the like. Had we done that, we would realize that this ☝️is nothing new.
How is it that a community that coined the phrase "stay woke" be so damn unaware. TF
white supremacy will never die if black people would stop buying expensive good from these Illuminati Companies blacks in USA could do better with the 1.3 trillion dollars they spend with the white race every year blacks pay and keep the white supremacist industrial military prison complex working if black people want power they will have to take it just like the white race did
Radical leftists are also quicker to disrespect you online when your name is presumed black, and will cross the line way further with online harassment. Try it. Make 2 handles, one presumed black, the other presumed white, then express a rational but unpopular opinion from both, in any online space. You’ll see. Those people are not your friends.
I think you mean white and Spanish names righttttt 😮 ?
No just jobs… but even apartments, especially here in Cape Town.
That’s true my name is Anthony Berry and it do helps to get my resume pulled and I usually get call backs.
All you black people need to get together and open some supermarkets and move aggressively.
My name is KEVEN but they try to change the spelling to Kevin but it's KEVEN 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
If you been arrested alot or in jail they won't hire you in the United States
In the United States they got to your social media account and look at your photo and they see who are they hiring
Your just “Now” knowing this 👀
Some of us Black folks are the most whiniest people on earth!!
I worked in HR for 2 years at a major medical university. We received a lot of applicants for the medical school side and for the employment side of our 7 hospitals and 142 clinics, surgery centers and imaging centers. Because of this our IT dept had crawlers built in behind the scenes that found duplicate or suspicious duplicate apps. I'm willing to bet a lot of these companies do the same thing because it's overwhelming and a waste of time.
CRT Baby!
THE NAME DOES HAVE AN EMPACT, THE SS HAS THE MOST DIABOLICAL RESTRICTIONS.
Again this is old news!
I know this is a fact
Prejudice and jeopardize discriminating black is not good what about good people.🌈😢
As usual, promoting SYSTEMIC RACISM because some blacks just can't bear the thought of other blacks doing well, and not IDENTIFYING AS OPPRESSED VUCTIMS. I think it's called "CRAB BARREL EFFECT" 😮🤔💯👎🏿🤦🏿🙆🏿
I keep the same energy with them folks. No. They didn't play fair and still don't, so we shouldn't either
I’m so glad my parents gave me an easy to pronounce name. It’s taken me far in life. I’ve gifted my son with a simple name as well. It is just not easy in this country to have those “fancy” names. I’ve seen those names get skipped so often. One reason is the hiring managers don’t want to be embarrassed- then face an attitude when those names get butchered.
AND YET AGAIN demonstrates the BLACK PROBLEM being no more than their "Reliance on White Hands to do the feeding" Why are Black People so hellbent on White People's Approvals! In damn-Near every aspect of their lives! ..When will Black people ever realize that DOING FOR SELF eliminates their dependencies of White People!🙄
As the whining continues……
As the never-ending saga of the "victim's Olympics" continues………….
Even more reason to build our own
Names like Kari, Cody, Trevor, and Lexy get called quicker, for example. These people may even perform less. Why am I not surprised?
The same dynamic still plays out in the US. My question would be seek history on a company, say 10 – 20 years of hiring practices. I do this to try and ascertain possibility of underlying event(s) that may have percipitated diviation, sudden change, or a thread shedding light outside blatant racisim.
This isn’t my real name. But my name does sound like it’s Irish. On paper, I probably have a Caucasian sounding name. Til they see me in person. 😂. I do get callbacks for jobs often tho. Not sure if it’s because of my name or resume or what. But I wonder if my name were Tyrone or Jacobi or something.
Mzungu names like mine….fred blubs.
That's no secret.
😂 maybe for Donald and Joe 😅
😂 that don't work for some one name Greg
Or there are black folks that speak proper English, but still get discriminated against, due to being a dark- skinned black person.
If people are so petty that they will overlook your qualifications because your name and face are too Black then you probably don't want to work there anyway. It's time for Black people to stop trying to conform to these people backwards ways and create our own opportunities.
Nothing new here with this story! Applicants with names that sound “ghetto” get their applications sent to the dumpster “file cabinet” with a “thanks for applying” standard notice.
So cute : announcer looks a lot like one of my nieces: must be related to Jamaicans?
BLACK MEN ARE VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE IN CORPORATE AMERICA AND ITS A SERIOUS TRAGEDY!
Most large employers I work in US, IM THE ONLY ONE! And YES i have a very white sounding name
However there is a set back! I get called for interviews with a white sounding name, but once they see my race I’m discriminated upon at least 90 % of the time! 😢
This study has been performed many times over the past few decades. Similar studies have found that even Black managers prefer to hire White/Asian people. There's a judgment that Black applicants won't work as hard.
Dont like american white names. Then go back to black africa.
It's true with some folks but those with those so called hard to spell names still get jobs especially fast food

We have known this as a community for years now. That’s why we call ourselves “Lisa, Minnie” etc. and our CVRS have our initials
