Study shows Afrocentric Names often incur a bias

Article

What are your thoughts on this?

How does your name reflect on your perceived professional capabilities?

Is it the same thing if say, your name was Barbie, Bambi (believe it or not, my dad's list of names for me included both Barbie and Bambi. Thank god my mom knocked some sense into him) or Muffy (instead of afrocentric, more ditzy-sounding)?

I found it interesting that the top female names given to african american babies included Aaliyah, Ashanti, and Jada - three very prominent African American women in the entertainment industry.
