It's become a story again over the last 5 or so years, especially adding the names of East Indians and Hispanics because of the New Immigration.
Yeah this is way behind the curve - there's reputable academic research that proved this decades ago, and has been replicated successfully since.

The "asshat corollary" doesn't really fly as causation - some of the names used were as simple as Dexter Jackson in the initial studies. The original studies selected out these problems very effectively.
