If she really didn't want him to get hired, she should have named him DaShawn.

This is probably a troll.

But at least it's an entertaining troll

I troll for sure.

BIPOX sounds like a disease

A bipox on all your houses.

This except literally and it already happened.

So peeps, its a troll post. But:

Or a unisex name so he’s mistaken for female on resumes and struggles in that regard?

A study on blind hiring practices showed it lead to women getting fewer interviews. So this appears to be balls now.

But yes calling your kid a weird first name of any kind will play against him socially. Employers don't want:

Underclass white names

Ghetto names

Hard to pronounce names

Foreign names from other cultures (European, African or Asian, they don't care.)

Made up/hippy names.

Anything weird.

People with foreign qualifications they aren't familiar with.

So basically if your first name is something foreign that isn't well naturalized to the area, find a way to Anglicise it.

Only your first name though. Ming Li Wen and Raggeh Shah will find it easier to get interviews as Amanda Wen and Robert Shah. It's the first name that seems to matter.

Isn't that the way in ANY country?

Arguably it's worse in some of those more vibrant countries where every group looks after their own. You might have to use one name to apply for a job with a Hindu employer and another for Muslim employer and another for a Christian. At least in the West there's pretty much just one list of names which every employer wants to see no matter their personal ethnicity. And it's a big, varied list of names covering lots of cultures.

[–]GConly 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Pretty much yeah.

Got to show you fit in.

[–]EvilNick 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes that's how everything works.

Jesus christ this is a whole new level of crazy. This should be considered child abuse, what kind of parent would sabatoge their kid?

...if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George, anything but Sue!

Better hope he never goes into politics. I'd vote for him.

He'll be the person of the year in Time magazine

They came full circle a while ago when they decided that segregation is a solution. Their whole re-definition of racism is making them racists like a mind virus they have no control over. Imagine slowly becoming your biggest fear, your worse nightmare that you supposedly were so passionate against. However I won't be holding my breath for them to say "are we the baddies"?

Accidentally based. It's also still not an uncommon name for Latinos - most of the world isn't plugged into the Holocaust propaganda outlet, and they see the National Socialists either as badasses or as fighters for true social justice.

[–]EvilNick 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I'm so fucking sick of people still whining about racial and gender rights and equality. Remember most of these people don't want equality they want their turn.

It's fucking white women, the most privileged group in the history of the world.

Tell the black guys to quit spending money on them.

Guess who will get his name legally changed and then want nothing whatsoever to do with his parents?

[–]kwyet 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She should just change their family name to hitler.

    Give it 6 months and they'll bring in that law themselves for people they think are the wrong kind of woke.

    This only proves that Trump voters aren't acquainted with many non-Trump voters.

    Lefties cutting off contract from their families because they have different opinions will do that.

    Did your family drop you because you voted for Trump?

    "You cannot truly be anti racist unless you are willing to" punish your unborn child because of his race.

    Emotional reaction... check. Thoughtful consideration beyond the initial feels?... don't count on it.

    I wonder what privilege this kid is supposed to have that weighs out bigger than growing up with a mother who hates him and wants him to suffer.
