37 years ago, when I was in the process of applying to law schools, I briefly toyed with the idea of legally changing my name to Rosalita Gonzales and failing to indicate race or gender on the application forms. As amusing as the results might have been, sanity prevailed.

Actually, you should have gone with "Rosario" or just "Rosa" ..... tonier, you know. Like avoiding certain English names, like Pearl, Muriel, Mildred, Polly, Molly, etc. -- "fishwife" names.

It would count later on, when your CEO is considering VP candidates.
