Middle-aged white guy here. First and last names, total white bread. Middle name? Black. Think "Tyrone" or "Trevon". (LOL, Trevon shows a spell check error on one of the top 20 black male names.)
Couldn't get a response on my resume for 6-weeks, nada. Changed the email to take out my middle name. Next week, 3 interviews and a solid job.
Had a black neighbor with a valley girl accent show up to an interview. 8 white girls waiting for their interviews. They showed her the door and said there was a mistake, no openings. She eventually got hired since her preacher was a top dog at the place.
The good thing about racists is that they're fucking stupid. Just interview the person and say nothing instead of making up an obvious lie.
But what if the interview goes well... Then what? We can't just hire them. Then we'll be forced to maybe face... Something. Not sure exactly what...
You don't get it, they consider this a humiliation inflicted by them on someone they want, well, humiliated. Eh, and sometimes it is true.
This is baffling. She could clearly see the other girls, yeah? All applying for the same position?
How do you dismiss one candidate in front of others, and say there are no openings? I don't get it.
They just didn’t finish the sentence. ‘There are no openings for someone of your heritage.’
Well maybe she misread the room? 🤔
Arrives for the interview and there are 8 white girls, in scrubs, in the waiting room. Also, the person who was to take her in the back for the interview was visibly shocked.
My wife is a Filipino and I'm shocked at what she's encountered in interviews.
"Are you Mexican or Asian?" Visible disgust at Asian.
"Are you a Christian? Oh. A Catholic. You have to attend our church every Sunday or we won't hire you."
Bonus points: Her first name is sorta black sounding. Told her to work around that somehow. Because I had to.

It might not be true.
Surely nobody would go on the internet and tell lies...
I heard the man from the church and his wife discussing with them in the driveway. Take that as you will.
I have a Latin surname. I am sure it's cost me in some circles. But in others it's an advantage. At least for me I think it kind of evens out.
Yeah, me too. I'm a white woman with an Asian last name and a gender neutral first name. Honestly, I think my gender neutral first name opens more doors for me than the Asian last name closes.
My autocorrect replaces “human” with “juman”! wtf
