And that is proof of what exactly?
You spotted a trend.... but then it takes the leap of assumption to believe that the cause is racism. If one has to ASSUME, then it is not evidence of racism.
It's proof that companies are less willing to hire people who have black-sounding names. Are you dense?
How about a more comprehensive study by the National Academies?
"Many racial and ethnic groups intheUnited States, including blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, and others, have historically faced severe discrimination—pervasive and open denial of civil, social, political, educational, and economic opportunities. Today, large differences in outcomes among racial and ethnic groups continue to exist in employment, income and wealth, housing, education, criminal justice, health, and other areas. Although many factors may contribute to such differences, their size and extent suggest that various forms of discriminatory treatment persist in U.S. society and serve to undercut the achievement of equal opportunity."
