I did not mean to imply that names do not matter wrt getting a callback at a job, of that I'm aware. I meant more as a 'why does it matter in qualifications.' i.e. in my formulaic paradise that is apparently too futuristic, name would be omitted as a factor. I don't think it's only race based, either. I'm sure an Alexander would get more callbacks than a Bubba. But people don't choose their name, such is life.
