Actually, I took a class in Consumer Behaviors a little over a year ago, and we did discuss the fact that in the U.S., the Michaels and Marys of the world are a HELL of a lot more likely to get the job than anyone named Laquisha or Tyrone. Maybe we don't like to hear it, but it's true of us as a culture that we are "name biased." Maybe it's helpful that the Condy Rices of the world are getting somewhere, though.
