But let me say, sometimes I take offense to my own name because many, many people assume that I am white. I have had more than one potential employer have a look of surprise when I walk in (moreso if they've heard me on thephone). My name is very plain, very, very plain. Let's see if you can guess from my initials...KEJ.

I totally agree with you. I take offense to my name to. My first day at work everyone thought I was white until I stepped in the door. I think my name is a typical name also. All through my educational years I went to predominantly black schools and there was never anybody else who had the same name as me. I like the names that actually mean something versus the names that stereotype a person.
BTW- SeriousAKA is your name Karen ?
