Yeah, this exist. Discrimination based on a person's name and perceived race has been an issue.
If you don't have a white person or white sounding name, you might not get a phone call from an employer.
Welcome to Donald J. Trump's Amerikkka.
But this has been going on before Trump. However, this stuff has increased since that imbecile took control of the government. The Republican Party is very unpopular. Because of Trump, many believe racism has only gotten worse under him.
Discrimination in the workplace continues to exist.
Capitalism once again is afoot. The so-called "free enterprise" is making the rich, richer. The poor, poor and even more ignorant to the current situation they're facing.
