I was talking about a separate study. I can't find the link to it now, but it wasn't specifically about race-it was about names that were difficult to pronounce. You can be white, and have a name that people don't know how to pronounce, such as a guy I went to highschool with, who's parents name him Celly. I saw it, and assumed it was "Sel-ly", but it was really "Kelly" - but since his last name started with a C, his parents decided to be cute and spell "Kelly" with a "C".
