Guy sounds like a jerk

It’s a real, proven thing that companies avoid giving interviews to people with non-white sounding names, hopefully they get sued for a lot of money as punishment for their clear racism

Proven by who?

The race and Hispanic origin distribution of the people with the name DWIGHT
is 77.9% White, 2.2% Hispanic origin, 16.3% Black, 1.3% Asian or Pacific
Islander, 1.5% Two or More Races, and 0.7% American Indian or Alaskan
Native.


The race and Hispanic origin distribution of the people with the name JACKSON
is 72.8% White, 3.8% Hispanic origin, 15.1% Black, 5.9% Asian or Pacific
Islander, 1.6% Two or More Races, and 0.7% American Indian or Alaskan
Native.

Some high profile jobs or even (in the media such as the BBC) low level jobs all but say "straight white men need not apply", neither situation is okay.

Everytime I didn't make it to the interview stage for a job was definitely because I is White.

Not being funny but ... it's only a job in a hotel. Why does he care so much?

he doesn't, he thinks he can sue and make money by not working hard in life, but does not have the intelligence to see why he cant

sad

Sue, or make money on the college talk/podcast circuit by parading himself as a fake political martyr of some sort.

There are worse grifts out there tbh.

Using your source, the name Jackson is 53% likely to be black. You're not changing the results to suit you are you?

This happens all the time and even though LT wants proof its not so easy to come by. Using LT's source the name Jackson suggest a black person 53% of the time so LT has confirmed the theory. :thumbs:

How is he a political martyr. Are you just chatting crap to chat crap? :shrug:

You seem to make quite negative assumptions. Why?

LT used Jackson as a first name and that why the stats were wrong. Very sloppy.

If I were to go thru more of LT's posts would I find further 'inaccuracies'. :shrug:

He should have called himself dwight jackoffski.

No wonder noone wants to give him a job!

There have been lots of studies on this here un the UK. Making your name sound more Anglo saxons usually get you and interview in less time than you do if you have a foreign sounding name....


https://www.beapplied.com/post/whats...ore%20foreign.
From the article:

UK government, 2012 – an all parliamentary group study found that women from ethnic minorities who “whitened” their names or changed them to sound more Anglo-Saxon had to apply for half as many jobs to receive an interview invitation as those whose names sounded more foreign.

· BBC’s Inside Out London, 2017 – even with a small sample size of two candidates and 100 job opportunities, this study reflected the same pattern of discrimination. While both candidates were equally qualified, “Adam” received 12 interview offers while “Mohamed” was only offered four.

Sorry, but it's how it should be..

Britains first.

:laugh::laugh:

Problem is that its in the USA

Unfortunately, your sources aren't great and we know how some forum members like to discredit any source that contradicts them. I like that LT's source actually backs up the arguments.

Oh!


Good luck dwight, you are gonna need it.

Yeah itust be the white people at fault. I mean in black or Asian countries I bet white names never get discrimination

:laugh2:

Very defensive.

Are white people being denied opportunities in black and Asian countries? Possibly, probably, who knows. Give us all the proof you have. :thumbs:

I've never seen danny Dyer in a Bollywood movie.:smug:
