There's a whole lot of information out there about the harm caused by stereotypes. Normally I tell people to look it up because it's not hard and I'm not your research assistant, but here's a freebie: "Are Greg and Emily More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal" is a mid-aughts study in which the authors sent out 5k job applications using fabricated equally-weighted resumes that were randomly assigned a stereotypically Black American or stereotypically white American name. Resumes attached to 'white' sounding names were fifty percent more likely to recieve a callback. Would you consider that a reasonable pan-industry attempt by employers to protect themselves from harm based entirely on someone's name?
