The answer to this problem is very simple. Black people need to stop looking for jobs, and produce jobs. Start more businesses, and you can hire all the black people you want to hire. Problem solved!
Nothing is wrong with either of those names. However, there are rules of the road in society, unfortunately. Either the rules of the road are followed to some degree, or there are potential downsides that may come with not playing along.
I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying it is what it is. Play along, perhaps, or suffer the downside. What will make you feel better? A decidedly-ethnic name that could hobble your children, or a name that may well pave the path to smoother success?
The choice is still yours, as a parent, to make. No one is taking that away from you.
Ugh, regardless of the "rules of the road", its still a flawed argument on your part.
Because you are just assuming the reason is the name,when you have nothing to back it up, and the fact that all black people dont have the names you were quoting.
Bingo. Blacks have been robbed of African names for 400 years.
Because their dress code is a direct violation of the 1st Amendment. It would exclude all Muslim men from applying. It is one thing to not hire a person who happend to be Muslim because they didn't meet the job qualifications. Excluding all Muslim men from the pool on the basis of dress code is a clear discrimination.
UPS has a large number of Muslim men that work for them world wide that shave their beard. No one forces them to work for the company.
Asians do it all the time. Asians are pretty smart people for doing so. They get it. They know what it means to excel in America...which is making the decision to Americanize their Asian name.
If you didn't already know that, then I'd reconcile that you're really not observant enough to reliably participate in this discussion.
Xuan, Nguyen, Billmogaputaswamy, Kang, and Lookmingkwan are American names?

because a 22 year old fresh out of college who has never had a job, has no credit, and no capital some how can create a business.

There is "no argument on my part." I'm merely speaking to the rules of the road that currently exist. They are not my rules. I am not defending them.
You have nothing to counter my assertion that these "rules of the road exist." This post demonstrates that.
That's not what I said at all. I asked a question of the poster I quoted. Do not try to misconstrue my words to fit your failed assertions.
This is your quote in its entirety

So, you prefer to give black children black-derived names so that everyone can identify them as black before meeting them? I don't understand the logic.
You are indeed asking him if he wants the recruiter to know if he is black before hand
so, if you want to explain you post further in a statement rather than a question, go right ahead.

Oversimplified and a bit silly, but an overall pithy response. I like it...and there's a lot of truth in what you posted.

I doubt this thread was created because one 22 year old black kid can't find a job however. If this is a problem for many black people, why can't many black people form a business, or just someone out of the group and the group support that? That's how things change. I'm not going to whine and complain for someone else to hire me if they don't want to. It's time we built something for ourselves and support ourselves. Then people will respect that, and attitudes will begin to change. That's just the way it has to be.
