I would rather interview and possibly hire the one with the fucked up name personally. It's not much fun to pick on Joe unless he's French.

Philosophical question: Is Joequesha a more "fucked up" name than Jonathan? Or Mohamed, Jocelyn, Akio, Cho, Dong Song, Sanjay, Santiago or even Wendy? Did you know that Wendy is a made up name which first appeared in the story of Peter Pan? All names are equally arbitrary, it is just that it is one's perception.

One thing for sure is I would hire Dong just for the amusement. :)

But did you know every single name and even word was made up by someone, somewhere and sometime?

I would also love to hire a Latino named Jesus the times we would have together. Lol, I'm kinda bummed this one friend shaved his beard I was calling him Mosses he had the walking stick and all. Lol

How is that racism? Employers get to choose who they want to hire.

If your name is giving you problems in life maybe you should change it...

I never beat up a black guy or a mick because of race but I damn sure made fun of them. So not really racist as I'm a mongrel who jokes about every race equally. :)

Doesn't racism require hate? I'd hire a black guy too as long as he did good work.

why do you enjoy making fun of people in the first place??

i love everyone equally.. you hate everyone equally??


and if serious, why would you think racism requires hate

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
  1. the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race..

same with sexism, you dont have to have hate for women to think they are suited to certain tasks..
or that black people like watermelon and grape soda.. doesnt require hate
:wall:

Yessir. That was the point that I was making in my comment that you quoted. All names are equally arbitrary.
