My name ends in the famous 'isha' and I think that we as a people have to work together to let people know that our names do not always reflect us. Just because my name ends in 'isha' does not mean I'm ghetto, or not a hard-work or whatever. I know girls and guys with what would be considered not ethnic names who are exactly what majority of employers are trying to avoid hiring.
If we support our own business we won't have to worry about other people not supporting us because of our names. If I come to your store regardless of your name, but just because you are a Black person and I want to supprt you rather than the Asian, White, Indian, Persian, Hispanic, or whoever down the street, people of those same ethic backgrounds will soon disregard the owners name as well.
How can we expect others to disregard our ethnic names and support us in our business endeavours when we do not support ourselves.
