Studies have shown that the more black-sounding a person's name, the more likely the parents have a lower socioeconomic status. Employers thus might infer that a job seeker with a black-sounding name is more likely to have grown up in a less educated and poorer family.
In our humble opinion, this would also extend to names that sound like the parents were smoking crystal meth when the hospital wanted to record the child's identity.
If employers believe that such a background lowers the chance of job success, this may help explain why audit studies find that employers react negatively to black-sounding names on résumés, which contain current education but little other socioeconomic information.
