But you said you'd never "met" someone with those names. If you were in other areas long enough, you would probably meet people with those names. That might make you start to think of them as just names, not "black people" names.

Because Billy Joe is better?! My husband is the Head of HR for his company and his name is Orlando. He makes more money and has a better job than any of the people in my family named Bob, Bill, or Tom. It's never held him back. Maybe it's a NYC thing that people are just used to different sounding names...
