This is sadly so true! There have actually been studies done to see how potential employers would react to names and those names that sounded "black" would not get an interview or be able to rent an apartment.

Not only that, there's a stigma attached to names that sound "ghetto". In schools, for example, kids with names that are ghetto are often perceived to be "problems" or have "attitudes"
