They have done studies in America that show that if there are two equally qualified black applicants for a job, and one is named something like "Dayqyan Mfundo" and the other is named "Mike Jones", then "Mike Jones" is something like 5X more likely to get the job. Giving American born kids idiotic "exotic" names tends to hurt their chances of success and alienates them from mainstream society.

The problem you are describing is not with the one's having the "exotic" names. It's with the decision makers bypassing perfectly acceptable candidates based simply on how their name sounds.

So therefore you blame the employer rather than the parents practice of cultural apartheid for placing them at a disadvantage. Got it.
