Again it's probably more of a class thing. A "white trash" name like ... Krystal Tiffany Candice would get less call-backs than a "black posh" sounding name like Solomon Anthony Gabriel.
If name-response studies mainly used names like Precious and Shoniqua, of course the results are gonna be skewed.
