Apparently SOMEONE has figured out what NAMES sound 'black'...
From Politifact---way over on the 'TRUTH' scale...
"Every day, a black name resume is 50 percent less likely to get responded to than a white name resume."
— Jalen Ross on Sunday, March 15th, 2015 in comments on CNN's "State of the Union"
Do job-seekers with 'white' names get more callbacks than 'black' names?
By Katie Sanders on Sunday, March 15th, 2015 at 6:29 p.m.
Jalen Ross, student council president at the University of Virginia, on CNN's "State of the Union."
The Sunday shows capped a turbulent week for race relations around the country, from the shooting of two officers in a new wave of protests in Ferguson, Mo., to the closing of a University of Oklahoma fraternity over racist chants.
CNN’s State of the Union invited four student leaders to talk about what the next generation can do to improve the dialogue. University of Virginia student council president Jalen Ross pointed out that the most common examples of racial discrimination aren’t limited to dramatic moments that make headlines.
"Every day, a black-name resume is 50 percent less likely to get responded to than a white-name resume," Ross said. "Right? That’s everyday racism."
Ross may not be the typical politician who meets our Truth-O-Meter, but we thought his point was interesting and telling about the state of race relations if true.
Ross told PolitiFact by email that he was referencing a field study from the National Bureau of Economic Research called "Are Emily and Greg more employable than Lakisha and Jamal?" The study is more than a decade old, published July 2003.
Economists Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan wanted to explore racial bias in the job market.
They responded to help-wanted ads for a variety of positions in the fields of sales, administrative support, clerical services and customer services posted in The Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune with fake resumes. The researchers plugged in made-up names on the resumes that are associated with African-Americans (they used Lakisha Washington and Jamal Jones as examples) or whites (Emily Walsh and Greg Baker) based on naming data for babies born between 1974-79 in Massachusetts. The name on each resume was randomly assigned, so the same resume in some cases had a black name and in others had a white name.
Then they counted the callbacks.
The resumes with white-sounding names spurred 50 percent more callbacks than the ones with black-sounding names.

Text's retardation is complete. Warren never said she was a person of color. She said the had a small amount of native American blood in her. The DNA test proved it. She has been exactly correct every step of the way and Text has been wrong every step. What a proud bigot and hater he must be.
