I think there may be a little bit of truth to that
When I was in undergrad, whenever I signed up for classes, I tried to pick classes that were taught by instructors who had "American" names. I once picked an 8am class over an 11am class because the latter was taught by a foreigner. I'm not a racist, but I do not have the patience to put up with the communication difficulties.
