“”Resumes with Black sounding names, like Tenisha or Tyrone, are 50 percent less likely to get called in for a job interview than the exact same resume with white-sounding names.”

Yup, smart employers don’t hire a lawsuit looking for a place to happen. If you randomly pick your child’s name from a Zimbabwe phone book their job prospects will be limited in America.

Yep. I'm thinking back through all of the C-level offices I've worked with. Plenty of diversity, both bathrooms, all colors of the rainbow.

Not a single LaTwana, LeShon, or Da'Banana among them. Plenty of Bobs, Toms, Helens, and Dianes, though.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.
