But but but tv talking head man said name with more than 3 syllable is scarey jihad?????
You gotta admit it's problematic. I'm white as can be, and so is my first and last name, totally black middle name. Think John Tyrone Jones. Did not get a single reply on my resume for 2-months until I removed my middle name. 3 interviews, 2 offers and a job within 2 weeks. (This was 10 years ago.)
To this day I'm surprised Barack Hussein Obama made it all the way to the top. Times have changed drastically, but not that much.
LOL, at least I can pronounce her name. Some Indian names utterly kick my ass. Still, easier than Eastern European names. "I have no idea what those letters represent." At least I can sound out Indian names. :)
The romanized versions of Indian names rely on more recent standardized transliteration rules.
Eastern European names keep legacy orthographies that are tied to centuries‑old literary traditions, records, and national identities.
I struggle with many Polish names especially.
Is it normal to put one's middle name on their resume? That is not someone that has ever occurred to me to do
Not gonna lie, I also had to look his name up. I've known about him for almost a decade, and I didn't know how to spell his name. I too believe that it's a racism card that has to be broken, but if a Muslim socialist who's called a communist can do it, I think he might be able to as well. I even think he's a better option than Mamdani.
He certainly has more political experience than Mamdani having been AOC's chief of staff.
