As is often quoted, resumes with black-sounding names get far fewer calls for interviews than resumes with white-sounding names.
That is an oft-cited conclusion from an old study that has not been reproduced in the tech industry (the classic one is http://www.nber.org/papers/w9873, a 2003 study in Boston and Chicago where they submitted resumes based on newspaper ads), where there is a devastating lack of supply and vicious competition for minority candidates.
Someone should repro this in tech, though, it would be quite useful to know how things look here and now!
